songlines ... bags with a story

on my journey to find pre-loved fabrics with an australian story, to create bags with a story that will then continue with the buyer

    off to melbourne!

    sadly not me - the webbing/strap material is going there. it will get a spa treatment of different baths and should come back to me in a week or two nicely tanned in the same beige as the body of the bag :)

    my green conscience is struggling though: the hemp material was manufactured and flown over from china, now it is flying back and forth to melbourne .. not good! but for now i couldn't find this kind of material australian made.

    does using a more sustainable environmental friendly material balance the increase of using long distance air travel?

    is it ok to use a non australian made material if it is better for the environment (and you can't find anything comparable in australia)?

    thoughts for the weekend :)

    crafted from re-used australian materials, songlines' products inspire you to explore their past and create their future ... bags with a story. the start of the journey.

    the name 'songlines' was inspired by the dreaming tracks of indigenous australians, which are invisible paths across the land (or, sometimes the sky) which mark the route followed by a localized 'creator-spirit' during the dreaming. The paths of the songlines are recorded in traditional songs, stories, dance, and painting ... I want my bags to pass on similar stories :-)
