Green designers Angelina Rennell and Ashley Watson have combined their artistic talents for the release of two limited-edition bags.
Each eco-friendly handbag is crafted from Rennell’s signature handprinted organic cotton canvas. Each is handmade by Watson in her native Vancouver, Canada, who adds her iconic reclaimed leather trim and straps to the designs.
The Duffel, with its blue Ikat Cat print, has a convenient two-way double-zip top and an adjustable detachable strap for easy carrying. Its twin, The Auklet has a slightly glitzier brushed gold print called Helsinki Tent. There are two pockets inside the generous interior, which closes with a magnetic snap.
I love the way the deliciously chocolatey leather helps to dress up the casual canvas finish. The combination helps to make both bags suitable for everyday use. They’ll never work on the red carpet, but they should suit a more formal setting than your typical canvas handbag might.
Buy the Duffel for $440 and the Auklet for $360 from Beklina.
