In the studio

Every bag starts as a plain cotton tote and a blank afternoon.

Ruby paints by hand with fabric acrylics — no prints, no transfers, no two the same. Each piece is heat-set so it survives a cold wash, and signed on the inside seam.

Pieces are made in small runs. When one sells, it's gone — but a similar one can always be painted to order.
