I started The Fabric Horse a year and a half ago in effort to create
well designed, well-crafted, sustainable products. I currently stitch
for R.E.Load Messenger Bags, and help the fabrication of various artists'
projects.
Circle and Square Bags, 2004
All the exterior fabric is from car and van seat upholstery I ripped
from a junk yard in NE Philly. The straps are seatbelts and buckles
from the same Chevy and GMC vans. The interiors are made from old banners
and signs from the Cincinnati art museum garbage. The strap adjusters
are from old belts.
