The History of the Bag
According to a recent article released by PBS.org, Kent is an artist who has taken “designer handbags” to a whole new level! All handbags are made by hand in his mill workshop and are sold worldwide. His bags have been clutched by many celebrities both on the red carpet and the runway.
"In 2003, after the disappointment of dismantling an exhibition of my paintings where nothing sold, I started cutting up the canvas pieces and sewing them into bags. They sold immediately. Raised on a farm, watching my mother repair and maintain the harnesses for the horses, I gathered a sense of the craft of leatherwork. It turns out that I did not need a wall to display my art, and that a bag was a perfect way to package my art. My designs are a great way to spark a fun conversation. Whether one of the signature clutch pieces (each comes with a handy crossbody strap), or the larger day bags, I want to make something that breaks the ice and turns everyday adventures into an opportunity to make new friends."
