Every bag begins with a story - a forgotten jacket, a faded pair of jeans, a once-loved sweater, a stack of vintage ties. Flora wanders through garage sales, thrift stores, resource centers, and friends' closets, gathering fragments of lives once lived, textures once cherished. From these cast-off materials, she creates extraordinary, one-of-a-kind bags — each one a small work of functional art. A man's suit becomes a sophisticated tote. Denim strips are woven into new strength. Shrunken wool and silk ties find new harmony in color and pattern.

Flora spends up to forty hours on a single piece, letting the materials guide her hands. Every button on her "96 Button" bags is hand-selected from thousands of recycled buttons, each sewn with intention and care. Her "80 Label" bags, adorned with history, whisper stories of where they've been.

Let’s not forget Sara - design consultant, color whisperer and textile lover. Sara’s eye for details and insistence that each creation be “just so”, helps each bag to develop its full potential and bring about Flora’s exclamation of “That’s it!"

All of the designs are clever- hidden pockets and thoughtful details blending beauty with purpose. But it's the team’s eye - exquisite sense of color, pattern, and balance — that transforms the ordinary into something timeless. Each bag is more than a creation. It's a celebration of renewal, craftsmanship, and the beauty of things reborn with workmanship to last a lifetime.
