Bags

Victoria is based in Elland. She creates bags from recycled leather, making use of the natural curves, edges, and imperfections that would usually be discarded. The button details are also handmade by Victoria from clay.

Victoria’s collection at the gallery includes: tote bags, messenger bags, clutch bags, shoulder bags, purses, pouches, wine bottle bags, and buttons.

Holmfirth artist Helena, is inspired by landscapes and their inhabitants. She creates simple striking images with ink, watercolour, and gouache, often adding phrases to create resonance. With sustainability in mind, Helena has sourced a company close to Holmfirth to develop her artworks into tote bags.
