I did go to sewing class but teaching wasn’t what I expected. Luckily my talented friend gave me private lessons. I started to sew some clothes for myself but after my friend gave me big pile of furniture sample fabrics that were going to be landfill otherwise and I made my first upcycled handbag I was hooked.
If I had known the joy that sewing would give me, I definetly would started a lot sooner. It´s so exciting mixing and matching different colors and fabrics and designing new handbags and pouches.
I started my etsy shop Annika L. Designs because I wanted to give others too a chance to enjoy my bags that are bringing me so much joy. And to give eco- and veganfriendly alternative for everyone bored with mass production.
Materials I use to make my bags are upcycled furniture samples for most part.
Love the fact that they are very durable and don’t pilling fast so it would been such a waste to go landfill.
It has always been important that I recycle in my personal life too. And Thanks to my mom I have grown up with thrift store adventures and other Slow fashion values.
I’m vegetarian myself so I don’t want to use real leather in my designs.
My designs mainly follow the minimalist style but every piece has something eyecathing whether is fabric, buttons, cut etc.
