My first bag was born out of necessity and function, believe it or not! I am a handbag minimalist - I only use two, but they are both fairly large. I am often faced with situations where I lack pockets, but don't want to carry the extra weight of a heavy handbag and only need to bring my cellphone and keys or whatnot.
I began with the idea of creating an external pocket, but also wanted to craft a bag in a new geometric shape - almost like a jewelry adornment. I thought about triangles, pyramids...they just got too bulky and problematic. The "spike" shape allows the bag to fall flat against the body yet maintain a sharp dimensionality.

This bag is entirely made by hand - no machines used whatsoever. It is also used from only one piece of leather. It is so lightweight that I barely notice it on my shoulder.
It may be petite, but it fits my essentials. All of the above were inside for the prior photos.
