el bag.
our goddess riikka is so gracious to pose for me wearing her new el bag— in our fave spot— good earth’s produce section. i find myself there often… grounding into the fresh, alive organized beauty of this lovely space.
“let us call it translating…” vincent van gogh wrote in a letter to his brother theo from st remy, france (where I also found my favorite linen blouses 116 years later),—regarding painting his version of “the sower”, a well known painting at the time by Millet. I decided to ‘translate’ the “el bag” after falling in love with a similar denim bag at my friend louesa’s shop, august, in oakland, ca.
my new denim bag attracted attention… and I loved the casual hippy energy it carried… and I had an idea.
coincidentally, my boyfriend steve (a thriftstore denizen) seemed to be getting more serious about his sewing habit, finding (collecting) sewing machines, fabric and experience through craigslist, thrift stores, word of mouth, (his friend stanley’s 93 year old mother).
steve prefers vintage Singer brand sewing machines (both born in New Jersey).
though the original bag was denim, steve convinced me I should consider other fabrics he had collected…the most perfect grey/pale pink tweed, a faded denim, a unique beige camouflage— all with a revealed “selvedge” —the finished edge of a bolt of cloth—usually decorative in nature.
