I’ve had two husbands and randomly both have told me, “you are funny, but not funny ha ha, funny clever. so I made a bag out of it.
i gotta warn you, this is a gigantic tote. made from my amazingly thick canvas, there’s a generous inside pocket and, of course, big words befitting a big tote.
you’ve asked and I’ve listened; custom portrait totes are now available in both small and large size. (the one in the picture is one I made for my husband. check out how much it looks like him). please note, the photo in this listing is a large tote. if you choose this size, your tote will be approx 14 inches x 18 inches with no gusset.
here’s the deets:
after you purchase, I’ll send you email instructions about how to send me photos.
I’ll need 4-6 photos–those with central figure and not a lot of extraneous detail are best.
In about a week, I’ll send you a few pieces of art–I’ll need you to choose one so I can make a screen and get your bag printed. on occasions, none of the photos you send will work. no problem, you can always send me additional choices.
you can choose from a number of colors with no extra charge (custom or matched pms colors will cost extra though)
your bag will ship to you approximately 4 weeks after you have approved art.
when printers are setting up a job, the practice sheets we use to test for alignment and ink color are called make readies, as in, these are the pieces we use to “make the job ready.” i save these pieces, carefully patching them together to make this huge, oversized tote. please note, each one is completely unique–some patches will have two or three prints on them, others just one, and the collection of prints will be different on each bag.
like all my bags, this is made, completely by hand, right here in New York city. if you need to wash it, use oxyclean in cold water and hang dry. do not iron, the ink is plastic based and the intense heat will ruin your bag, your iron, and probably your day.
like my makeready tote, this “clam” tote is huge, and constructed by sewing together nearly two dozen multicolored prints. one small rectangle in the middle says, “I’m happy as a clam.” please note, the colors and placement of colors is random.
