Flashback: Su Turno

I first featured Su Turno back in 2009, after I found their products on etsy and fell for their surface pattern design.  SuTurno was founded in Madrid by Julia Vergara and Javier Gutierrez Bayo who work on different design areas and media (fashion, interiors, graphics…).  When I revisited their work recently, I was struck not only by the quality of their design but also by the incredible photography.  But after reading more about their day jobs (they have worked in projects for international clients such as Marc by Marc Jacobs and Zara Home to name a few) I can see why the quality is so strong.  Running SuTurno, their personal projects are carefully crafted in limited numbers by local artisans, combining quality natural materials and striking prints.

I came across these lovely bags on Etsy and had to share them with you.  They are made by Peace4you who are based in Germany.  They make their bags from old german navy kitbags and vintage navy leather jackets for some of the straps.  Upcycling at its finest.

I've been so busy the last few days I haven't had much chance to sit down at the computer for more than a few minutes so I apologise for the lack of posting, which is likely to continue for the next week or so as scurrying about like a woman possessed! 

I'm in the process of having various interviews, creating my pattern portfolio, visiting family who have flown in from America and then off to Paris soon for my 30th birthday, a lovely birthday gift from my lovely boyfriend and parents!  I'll try and blog as often as I can in the next couple of weeks though!  

Anyway, enough of that - here is the fantastic work of Wren Design from Cape Town - I just love handmade goodies made from the recycled materials like these hessian coffee bags!
