Picture waking up in a cozy, sunlit weekend cabin, your handmade pouch sitting beautifully on a rustic wooden nightstand, holding your morning skincare and small treasures as you prepare for a slow day in nature. Or simply resting on your bathroom shelf at home, bringing a vibrant splash of 70s sunshine to your morning routine and standing ready to be hung onto your backpack for an afternoon walk. For someone who loves the nostalgia this piece creates — a beautiful accessory to admire in your space, practical to use every day, and a cheerful companion to be cherished for years.

I was inspired to make this pouch with vibrant quilted yellow, orange, and green floral prints — it brings a bold retro vibe and a cheerful nod to vintage gardens that is impossible to ignore. Inspired by that joyful palette, I paired it with rugged, soft-washed reloved denim, creating a cool, casual edge that speaks of slow fashion and character. From pre-loved jeans to hidden remnants of vintage cottons, I gather these beautiful materials to give them a new, purposeful life. Every piece is recreated with intention, turning everyday storage into a little work of art.

For Golden Garden I chose each textile for its durability and unique story — ensuring the cozy vintage green cotton lining acts as a smooth, gentle interior every time you unzip it. I structured the design with exceptional utility, featuring a convenient external pocket on each side for easy access to your phone or keys, a coordinated quilted hook for easy hanging, and new durable metal zipper hardware for a reliable closure. Everything was then carefully stitched into place for long-lasting, machine-washable care, crafting a sustainable everyday organizer that packs personality and purpose wherever you go.

Every piece I create is lovingly handmade with the utmost care, using only the finest vintage fabrics. Selected for its unique charm, but as an upcycled material, they may carry slight imperfections that add to their character. Embrace the beauty of one-of-a-kind craftsmanship! Made in Mandurah, WA.

Item care: Gently handwash your bag with perfume free liquid detergent or use a delicates bag on a gentle warm water machine wash. Lay your damp bag flat on a clean surface out of direct sunlight.
