Lillian Farag uses leather bags and envelopes as canvases for her vibrant abstract illustrations. The tanned-leather vessels are a clad in watercolor-like brush strokes that bring a painterly touch to everyday carry. Each piece is hand-painted and ensures that no two are alike.
Once you begin to carry a bag by Lillian, the oils on your hands start to darken the leather. It’ll result in a beautiful patina that occurs naturally over time—something, she says, “… is a natural process and should be welcomed! It will bear markings and color changes, building character, and giving your piece its own story.”
Lillian sells her work in her online shop. For a limited time, use the code SPRING to take 10% off your purchase (just in time for Mother’s Day!). Follow her work in progress on Instagram.
Lillian Farag translates her vibrant illustrations onto hand painted leather bags that are each one of a kind.
