Original Handmade Bags - Agnes van Gaalen - Atelier Faubourg

Recently I found a way to combine my artwork with a utensil, the results are my original handmade bags made with French vintage lace, textile. Mixed media with screen prints, tranfers, embrodery, beads and buttons.

France has an old culture, and is rich in hometextiles like tablecloth, lace, kitchentowels, bedlinen, but also buttons and beads. I live and work as an artist in Burgundy and I am so happy to find all those items at the Brocantes here.

First I used these vintage items in my paintings and monotype prints and due to our pop-up store called “Art en Loire” in La Charité sur Loire, the idea came to me to create these little bags. I love to give this french history a second life in a new look! For sale in our Boutique: art-en-loire.boutique
