Description

The inspiration for this yardage design came from an old tablecloth belonging to the grandmother of an associate of the artists. They modified the tablecloth’s floral print and added an overlay pattern of dashes to achieve a "design involving dramatic contrasts of scale, rhythm, color, and association," according to Robert Venturi.

Hand-screenprinted onsite in the FWM studios, this Grandmother passport bag—with two pockets and a comfortable crossbody strap—is perfect for carrying a few items on the go.
