Introducing the new and improved Eclipse Crossbody Bag — in Rough Check.
This design began with the simplest tools—ink, paper, and hands willing to experiment. Through mark-making and careful folding of narrow paper strips, a checkerboard pattern emerged that defies every rule about what a check should be.
The result is beautifully imperfect: streaky, distressed squares that look like they've lived a little. Each block carries the organic irregularity of hand-drawn lines and the happy accidents that happen when ink meets folded paper. Unexpected flecks of pink break through like whispered secrets, adding warmth to the monochromatic foundation.
There's something nostalgic about it—maybe it's the slightly rebellious energy, the way it takes a classic pattern and roughens it up just enough to make it interesting. It's checkerboard for people who never colored inside the lines.
This is pattern-making as meditation, as discovery, as proof that the most compelling designs often come from simply playing with materials and seeing what wants to emerge.
If you're tired of seeing the same plain black or beige crossbody bag everywhere, this is your chance to carry something with personality. It's the functional bag you already love, elevated with a print that makes a statement.
Designed by me and made locally in a factory in Brooklyn, these bags are ready to ship now.
If you’re wondering why it took me so long to relaunch these, read more about it here. It was kind of a bumpy ride, but we got there eventually.
