'peach bag

via the maine effect

This is my new bag. It's called the Yoshimi Felt bag. It's made by hand by Elsie Moshimer, the Maine-based creator of Salty Peach designs. Elsie started Salty Peach to communicate the need for people to slow down and focus on long-term. “I am generally impatient with monotony, and with the mass production addiction that our society has fallen victim to, so you won’t find many repeats in my work.” She prefers found and recycled materials. For beach season, she’s designed a bag made of vinyl screen to filter out the sand, and hold the shells and treasures you want to take home. Let’s just say, she’s one of the most enchanting entrepreneurs we know.
