Throwback to this Disco Orange Clutch that’s currently enroute to it’s new home 🧡 . I hope it brings much joy to the owner as it did when I handcrafted it. . When I screenprinted this design I let loose and was in full-on colour mode. I wanted all the joyful colours 😍literally! . You’d never believe my go-to print colours used to be black and white. I guess it was down to the fact that I create the majority of my artworks by painting with black indian ink on cartridge paper. . On my Masters I was criticised for never using colour...well look at me now. #tbt #colortherapy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #printmaking #textiledesign #vegtan #handmade #craft #leathergoods #screenprinting #joannavanderpuije #sparkle #vegetabletannedleather #print #textile #accessories #clutch #clutchbag #handbag #leather #handstitched #pattern https://www.instagram.com/p/CVSGoCiAK_S/?utm_medium=tumblr

All about the details... I added some well needed colour to the new packaging postcards. They’re much lighter in weight as I opted for 💯 recycled paper...it’s a small price to pay but most definitely worth it! . Featuring some of my archive prints, I thought it would be nice for them to see the light of day✨ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #tbt #colortheory #screenprinting #print #textiles #handcraft #art #madewithlove #joannavanderpuije #painting #handmade #popcolor #colourtherapy #abstractart https://www.instagram.com/p/CUcQ1DFNncq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sparkly shiny handcrafted things 🌞 . Will be available online this Sunday 🙌🏾. Thank you so much for all your patience. . Was handsewing these like crazy to be able to photograph them in the sunlight... and don’t they look oh so fine 😉 Pure sunshine (without the rough clouds) feels like a rare dream in the UK these days, so gotta get it whilst it lasts. . . . . . . . . . . #printmaking #textiledesign #vegtan #handmade #craft #leathergoods #vegetabletannedleather #print #textile #accessories #sparkle #colortherapy #cardholder #purse #handstitched #pattern #keyring #screenprinting #clutchbag #joannavanderpuije https://www.instagram.com/p/CUNZxxstv4n/?utm_medium=tumblr

Been crafting and prepping the restock of some styles for 26th September ✨ . It’s been more than a long wait so thank you sooooo much for being patient 🙏🏾 . These clutches are screenprinted by hand and then hand-stitched. It’s a crazy amount of work but the finish is second to none and unique to you 🌟 . There will be limited availability (as these babies aren’t factory mass produced in high numbers) so please sign up to the newsletter if you’d like the earlier notification and a little perk 😉 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #printmaking #vegtan #handmade #craft #clutchbag #leathergoods #vegetabletannedleather #print #textiles #accessories #sparkle #colortherapy #handstitched #pattern #screenprinting #slowfashion #joannavanderpuije https://www.instagram.com/p/CT12pjoA4b_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Blue for you 💙 Monday .

Slowly does it 💫 . Been recharging and taking a rest from crafting this month. My body said ‘not today (or the day after 😑’ so I listened and took a break. We gotta make time for self care. . Anyways, feeling more refreshed and ready to get back to crafting come next month. I have many new gems to show you 😬. . Here’s a little peek of something special. . . . . . . . . . . . #printmaking #textiledesign #handmade #craft #print #textile #accessories #colortherapy #leather #handstitched #pattern #screenprinting #slowfashion #joannavanderpuije #handbag #leathergoods https://www.instagram.com/p/CS_k32Dt8tZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Minimal packaging, maximal print and attention to details 💫 . I’ve been printing at home using my lovely custom stamp. The stamp is crafted from eco friendly rubber and solid oak. . I used to screenprint all my cotton bags, so this is a huge step up in utilising time better. It saves my energy (especially on the physical side) plus it’s super quick to do at home. Win win! . The packaging I use is just as thought out as the products. The cloth bag/pouches can be reused time and time again! ✨ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #handmade #leathergoods #joannavanderpuije #print #getstamped #leather #keyring #accessories #screenprinting #cardholder (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSJk82KNtw0/?utm_medium=tumblr

July progress. Slowly but surely 💫 . Hope to get some of these screenprinted hand-stitched leather pieces up online this month (the one’s that make the cut)... been a long time coming. . Lots of trial and tests with the new foils on the leather but finally figured it out (was an expensive lesson but that’s expected with textiles design;as you have to test on the real fabric). Feels great when you finally get ‘there’ though 😊 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #printmaking #textiledesign #vegtan #handmade #craft #clutchbag #print #vegetabletannedleather #handbag #textiles #accessories #sparkle #colortherapy #leather #handstitched #pattern #screenprinting #bag #process #joannavanderpuije #leathergoods https://www.instagram.com/p/CQyvVQRNxQL/?utm_medium=tumblr

This one’s called Haniah; meaning happiness and bliss 💙 . Perfect for todays’ return of the 🌞 . The Haniah Batik Box Bag uses Ghanaian handmade batik cotton from a generational family textile business in Accra. It’s then sewn up and embroidered by me here in London, UK. . I have greatly enjoyed using these rich fabrics stemming from part of my heritage. It’s important to keep such craftsmanship, culture and traditions alive. . . . . . . . . . . #printmaking #textiledesign #batik #handmade #bag #print #handbag #totebag #ghana #boxbag #organic #slowfashion #embroidery #blue #africanprint #pattern #fairtrade #joannavanderpuije https://www.instagram.com/p/CQdcC32gm7S/?utm_medium=tumblr

🌞Sun’s out 🌞 And the Damson Box Bag is back in stock: Crafted from Ghanaian handmade batik fabric. . Here I’m wearing it with a leather bra I made over 10 years ago, the cut is based on an antique bra I bought at a vintage market. The jeans are my ‘studio/house jeans’ a twisted seam Levi jeans i bought maybe over 16/17yrs ago. Still going strong!😉 . I will be sewing up the other sold out Box Bag designs come the end of the month (I think) as I still have a long list of leather pieces to finish making. .

Back to sparkly beginnings ✨ . I’m not sure where my obsession with all things sparkly came from. But all I know is that it always uplifts my mood...so I’ll stick with that ☺️ . I’ve been hand-crafting some restock (finally) and new pieces like these mini duets using vegetable tanned leather. . There’s still a way to go so please bear with me. They’re not online yet. . First I screenprint and then it’s lots of hand-stitching! And lots of breaks, so my hands stay intact 😂 .
