Clare Large Messenger Bag

Description

Designer: Sallyann Bags

Sallyann’s Handmade Bags are created in a small sewing room overlooking Doo Lough and the Atlantic Ocean in West Clare, Ireland, by their creator, Sallyann Marron.

The bags are individual creations, each lined with recycled jeans, making every bag unique. Some of the bags are reversible, allowing the owner to turn the bag inside out, making the bags ideal for shopping, picnics, the beach, the gym or swimming.

Sallyann trained as an industrial technologist and was sponsored by the clothing industry during her degree. Working in the clothing industry was short-lived upon graduation however, and subsequent jobs in politics and international marketing followed. The combined genetic pull of a great grandmother, grandma and great aunt, all of whom were tailoresses and seamstresses, meant that a return to making a living by way of the sewing machine was inevitable, and Sallyann’s Handmade Bags were born in 2014.

The bags combine high quality oilcloth from around the world, and recycled denim gleaned from charity shops across the Mid West of Ireland. The designs are simple, useful, practical and beautiful. Each bag is made to the highest quality standards to ensure it is long lasting and will not let its owner down.
