Hand-crafted Bags, Pouches & Homeware made from natural & up-cycled fibres
The name "4EverBlue" is derived from a measurement of time and my love for Indigo Blue,
its fading characteristic makes it so unique to work with.
My hand-crafted creations are made from up-cycled & pre-loved materials such as Denim Jeans, Hessian Coffee Bean Bags, Vintage Silk Kimono/Sari's and Cottons, combined with interesting natural fabrics as in Calico, Hemp, Linen & Leather and some great Cotton prints.
Shapes and techniques are inspired by a Textile Trip to Japan in Dec 2018, a Japanese themed retreat to Hobart in Aug 2024 and a Kyoto & beyond Trip to Japan in Oct 2025, not to mention a pinch of Textile Art. I am also a Grade 3 Sogetsu Ikebana Teacher (Japanese Art of Flower arranging) and have been practising this gentle art since 2016 Production numbers are low, ensuring that every single 4EverBlue item is unique, special and beautiful. Custom orders always welcome 😊
Available for purchase from my Studio in Sumner Park, Brisbane or my Online store: Etsy.com https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/4EverBlueCreations?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
