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

    what do rainbows and eels have in common?

    Eel-skin-wallets
    in this case they have the same color! at a recent sydney laneway market i came across this unusual material for bags and wallets: eel skin. according to the designer, eel is one of the strongest and most durable leathers .. and instead of feeling slimey it acctually felt really nice and soft. we got shown a 'pre-loved' wallet and it still looked great. i just loved the colors.

    sadly their website is not up and running yet, but i am sure you can just send them a short email in case you would like to keep an (eely) rainbow in your pocket: info@boutiquesydney.com

    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 :-)
