I came up with the design for my camera bags after I was frustrated by the lack of attractive options available; as a lover of bags, travel and photography I needed a bag that was practical enough to take anywhere but did not compromise on style.

The pattern is taken from an antique Chinese raw silk kimono that belonged to my great-grandmother. After I inherited this fragile heirloom from my grandmother, I decided to create a permanent record of it by using my photography skills.
