Introducing Upcycle Hand Bags by Crafting the Harvest
As a self taught Artist, Rachel Valette has experimented with craft from a young age.
Growing up on an apple orchard in rural Australia, being resourceful and creative was a way of life!
Crafting the Harvest is an ode to her youth and the many things you can make from different ‘Harvests’.
Drawing inspiration from her everyday life and mountain adventures these bags are designed and handcrafted in her home studio in Calgary.
Her style is simple and minimal with accents from colourful thread.
The aim is to create functional pieces that resonate joy for the owner. She loves to see people enjoy a quality product that has been handmade with care and attention to detail.
With conscious living and sustainability top of mind she is constantly in search of different fibres and rope for new collections. Her latest project is bringing new life to retired rock
climbing rope by up cycling them into practical bag styles.
