KENT STETSON HANDBAGS
My handbags are sure to spark fun conversations. In 2003, after an exhibition of my computer- generated art failed to result in any sales, I cut the pieces up and sewed them in to bags. They sold immediately. From there I incorporated photographic prints and wild array of themes, a diverse collection of artisanal day bags, all crafted to draw the eye and allure the senses. Fast forward, the collection is now sold in several hundred boutiques and specialty stores and enjoys a worldwide cult-following of collectors. Each piece is made in my studio in Rhode Island. I still sew and sign each piece.
Ranging from elegant to playful, the collection is so diverse that you are bound to find the perfect gift for someone who is a challenge to shop for. I craft a unique keepsake that is just as fun to collect as it is to use.
Art can happen in unexpected places, and an outing accented with one of my pieces can often be an opportunity to make new friends.
