Have you ever imagined that your handbag, the one you used every day, could be an peerless art one day? Kathleen Dustin use her handbags, made of soft pottery clay, could answer your question well.
Besides being an artist, Kathleen Dustin also known as an accessory designer. Unlike other brands’ design, Kathleen Dustin’s handbag is more like carving, acturally, if you don’t know its characteristic, when you first see Kathleen Dustin handbag, you will naturally consider it’s a carving for home decoration, not a handbag.
In her early design of soft pottery clay handbags, Kathleen Dustin prefer using women as design themes, especially prefer using their gestures as the outline of the whole bag, these women benting their body, cross-legged or holding their children, all these handbags do not have handles, making them the series most similar with art. But after that, Kethleen Dustin adds handles and strings in her design, so that her works seem more like handbags. Through those different women images on Kathleen Dustin hangbags, you often can feel the deeper level cultural deposits including in her design. Recently, Kathleen Dustin is getting interested in plants world, seed pod, bud, moss, grass, leaves and branches, all these things have become her source of inspiration. She magnify these prosaic, can-be-seen-everywhere normal things to remind people of not ignoring those trivial little things in life.
But, personally, I do not recommend this handbag really, after all, most of people care more about the quality when they purchasing handbags. In practicability, I have to say, Kathleen Dustin handbags are relatively poor, futhermore, their artistic designs are too unique, not all customers can accept. If you really like Kathleen Dustin’s handbags, anyway, when you purchase them you should consider you are investing in art, comparing with your wrist, window is the better place for them.
