I had traded my love for handpainting and weaving leather for simpler bag designs that sold better and were quicker to make. {A classic staple bag is always a good choice}. But I always kept one of those original bags on my rack - to remember where I started. Today, @lechoppe.jp stopped by and FOUND that bag - the one I had buried under the bags I THOUGHT they would want. So I'm excited to say that I'll be getting back to plant dyeing, handpainting and weaving leather - for customers in Japan ✨ . . . . #design#craft#japan#japanese#american#americanmade#buyingtripusa#madeinusa#philly#philadelphia (at Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania)
