hand painted bag

Perhaps the #1 bag Üka is known for is this hand painted tree bag. Each one of these bags is one of a kind (no two are alike) painted free-hand by artist Erika Thorpe. Though we may produce similar designs, we assure you the artwork and fabric selections are unique on each of these bags. This messenger style bag features interior and exterior pockets in groovy contrasting fabrics, and has appliquéd design work on the body and on the painted panel embellished with metallic embroidery. When you carry one of these, you carry a piece of artwork across your shoulders. All our cotton fabrics are treated with Nikwax to add water and stain repellancy. (Read more about this product)

Due to the amount of labor, intricate detail work, and custom painting these bags cannot be produced in large quantities, making them a premium item. We may only create 1 or 2 a month, so they are definitely special. We are however always happy to do special orders. Contact us at info@ukastyle.com if interested.

These bags retail between $125 to $250 depending on size, style and amount of custom details.

Take a sneak peak at what we are working on now. Below are detail shots of front flaps of 2 Messenger style bags (click on images to view larger):
