At A.W.D Textile Designs, we specialize in creating one-of-a-kind, handmade bags that blend art with functionality, bringing vibrant, joyful designs into everyday life. Founded by a passionate artist, our business began as a small project in a college studio and has since grown into a full-fledged operation. Each item we create is handcrafted with love and care in Portland, Maine.
Our products are born from the artist's dedication to quality craftsmanship. Every bag begins with original sketches, followed by silk-screen printing, ink mixing, fabric cutting, and careful stitching—all completed by hand by the artist herself. This hands-on process ensures that every piece is not just a product but a work of art, designed to bring color and personality into daily routines.
At A.W.D Textile Designs, we believe in the power of creativity to transform everyday objects into something special. Our bags are not only functional but are meant to add a spark of joy and inspiration to your day. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to be both playful and accessible, with bold patterns, bright colors, and high-quality materials that bring a sense of happiness and warmth to anyone who carries them.
Our mission is simple: to make art that elevates daily life. By merging art and functionality, we aim to provide customers with beautifully crafted bags that not only serve a purpose but also serve as a reminder of the beauty and fun that surrounds us.
We are excited to share our creations with a broader community and hope that our pieces resonate with people who appreciate the connection between art and everyday use. Through our designs, we strive to create moments of happiness, inspiration, and a sense of connection with the world around us.
