ABOUT ALEX
Just a little about Alex. She's Canadian but is presently based in Frankfurt, Germany.
Alex left Canada years and years ago and has done all sorts of jobs over the years. But the happiest times she's had in life have been when making and creating things. So, when they (her boyfriend and her) decided to move back to Germany, after spending the last two years in Cardiff, UK, she decided to give it a go full time.
She found inspiration for her bags from her sister Cynthia who is an impressive artist. She is based in Quebec, Canada and specializes in silk screen prints and has been making and selling bags for years. Her sister didn't mind that she started using her patterns as she knew that Alex would modify them and make them her own. It is actually quite surprising how different their styles are and this was obvious right from the very first bag.
She now has her own workshop at home and finds inspiration for each bag simply by looking at the different materials, colours and trying different things out until she feels they look good. She likes adding ribbons, buttons and colourful stitching to make them that much more special. She loves happy colours like pink and orange. And loves making the insides a little funky and fun, she feels it makes wearing the bag that much more special. It's a fun and exciting feeling knowing that the inside is freaky and somewhat cool; especially when you're the only one who knows about it!
She is very proud of the fact that no two bags are the same, it's so hard to find things that not everyone else is wearing these days. So she thought it would be a nice and refreshing idea to offer one-of-a-kind originals!
