Latches, closures.. etc











Basket Weaving and details


Websites on basket weaving


Bags w/ Trapunto and other elements










This website has great photos of scarification, jewelry, textile patterns of East African women/ children.

Designers



















This is a collection of designers I thought combined elements of a tribal influence or organic really well into their accessories, whether it were shoes or handbags.

Lip Plates








I also chose to research patterns of lip plates, just to kind of see if I could incorporate the designs into my bags, maybe using a stitch line or hard trupunto. It would be an interesting added element.
