This tote bag is made from thick, Japanese-made No. 6 canvas and features a print based on a ballpoint pen drawing by artist Matthew Miller.
The print recreates the artist's hand-painted brushstrokes. The design is inspired by the atmosphere of the town where he grew up and the aspirations of his childhood. The everyday form of a classic tote bag is a design that pays homage to his own roots and culture.
<about Matthew Miller>
Los Angeles-based artist Matthew Miller continues this tradition by creating pieces using a World War II-era chainstitch sewing machine.
His work reinterprets vintage aesthetics for the modern era through free-flowing hand-embroidered depictions and typography. Combining diverse motifs such as tattoos, music, cartoon characters, and Los Angeles culture, he elevates classic handcrafts to a new context. His style embodies his unique style, "Matthewism," as an embroidery expression that mixes American West Coast culture and craftsmanship.
