A note from Liz: I'm excited to share these lovely bags and backpacks made by Rachel Elise Studio in North Carolina. The handprinted fabrics, beautiful colors inspired by nature, and durability are making these a quick favorite around here.
More details: Fanny packs are back and looking cute + modern. This bag can be worn fanny-pack style around the hips, or can be worn on the back like a sling bag. Like all Rachel Elise products, Festival Packs are made with 100% vegan materials. This Festival Pack is made with weather-resistant waxed canvas. Fully lined with canvas. Closes with a zipper and has one interior pocket. Measures 7.5 in tall, 8.5 in wide at the top, 9.5 in at the widest point, and has an adjustable hip strap.
More about the makers: Rachel Elise was founded in 2008 while owner and maker Rachel Aughtry was earning her BFA in Fiber Art. Combining the skills from her degree with her life-long love of sewing, she started selling a collection of bags at the neighborhood coffee shop. Many stockists later (including a few more coffee shops!), Rachel's husband Bo was able to quit his job and work at Rachel Elise as well. They soon relocated their studio from their native Texas to the Blue Ridge Mountains, where they sew, print, and ship each and every RE bag.
