A starring role in the Twilight movie made Stitch & Swash bags an overnight sensation. Seattle designer Angie Bowlds has been inundated with orders since Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart, carried a Stitch & Swash tote in the cult vampire film.
“It’s an everyday bag that’s easy to throw things in. [Bella] didn’t have to fumble with a zipper or a flap,” Ms. Bowlds explained.
Inspired by vintage illustrations and plant patterns, Ms. Bowlds creates all the screen prints featured on her Stitch & Swash handmade leather bags. This fall, Stitch & Swash fans can look forward to black leather bags, in addition to the label’s typical earth tones. With this monochrome color expect some vivid screen prints in lime, aqua, and persimmon.
Prices start from $10 for a card case. Larger totes and satchels range from $175 to $225. If you want a Bella bag, I’d advise you to put your order in soon. The waiting list is already five weeks, but expect that to blow out when the bag is seen again in New Moon.
