Painter's Grove Teardrop Raffia Bag (Pre-release Available Soon)

Collector pre-orders will open soon, offering an exclusive opportunity to reserve one of the first handcrafted editions before production begins. 

A celebration of artistry, natural beauty, and timeless craftsmanship.

Handwoven in Madagascar from refined raffia, our Signature Teardrop in Raffia transforms traditional techniques into a sculptural luxury silhouette. Each piece is meticulously embellished by hand, creating a rich, jewelry-inspired surface that balances texture, color, and natural materials.

The design is adorned with an intricate composition of genuine gemstones and luminous accents, each selected for its unique character. Iridescent Mother of Pearl catches the light with a soft glow, while Green Aventurine brings a natural depth and richness. Delicate Blue Lace Agate introduces subtle notes of tranquil blue, creating contrast against the warm raffia foundation.

Hundreds of hand-applied details complete the composition, including 24kt gold-plated seed beads, silver seed beads, Natural Jade, and Natural Nevada Variscite. Together, these elements form a surface that feels less like a handbag and more like a wearable piece of art.

Every embellishment is individually placed and stitched by hand, allowing the beauty of the raffia weave to remain visible beneath the gemstones. The result is a bag that feels simultaneously sophisticated, tactile, and unmistakably artisanal.

Designed to be treasured for years to come, the Signature Painters Grove Teardrop Raffia Bag embodies the meeting of traditional craftsmanship and modern luxury.

Intuitive Process

Bring forward through layers

While I am painting constantly in my mind, when I do get a chance to stand before a canvas, most often I load it up with paint and stand back. To study. Interact. To be emotional and seek what is there.

Expression
From literal art translation to rendered patternwork

The artful journey is never over, at least not for me. There may be times of rest, but no peice ever becomes barren of inspiration.

Beauty Within
Intuitively inspired design and curated possibilities
