Jacobs Eye: Handmade Bags

Forget Prada and Gucci! I would much rather have a one of a kind Jacobs Eye creation to tote around town!

"Jacob is a SELF-TAUGHT artist and craftsman that hails from Kingston, Jamaica. Since 1997 Jacob has been the proprietor of Jacob's Eye in scenic Fort Greene, Brooklyn. This up and coming neighborhood buzzes with many talented artists, including Erykah Badu, who is a long-time customer and one of his beautiful models. His unique afro-centric handbags are undeniably bold conversation pieces consciously created without the use of machines." -jacobs eye

I absolutely love the handmade feel of these bags. The bold stitches, pops of color, and the delicate layers of leather and fabric are absolutely gorgeous in my opinion. I admire handmade fashion that does not come off too perfect, pieces such as Jacobs are true pieces of art..no machines needed!
