bags for book people are durable, beautiful, handcrafted functional objects.




















A repeating, ever-changing, series of handmade bags that are made one at a time, with sturdy hardware, primarily from scraps, off-cuts, dead stock, remainders, and/or remnant fabrics. Some include imagery from artist books, printed using risograph or letterpress processes. 

Each is a unique material study that combines practical durability with artistic expression, appealing to conscientious consumers who value ethical, long-lasting objects as well as creative community building. 

Sales fund further explorations + experiments in the studio. They are priced as low as they can be without costing money to make.
