ORIGINAL CLAY CHARACTERS | PRODUCT DESIGNS | COLLATERAL

I created this little tribe of characters in clay and started taking pictures of them to show my mother. I loved how they looked in the photos so much I decided to create a collection of accessories with them. Images and stories of the characters were hand-silkscreened onto character-rich Italian leather handbags and accessories, creating a fun mix of silliness and sophistication. The bags were sold in upscale boutiques, gift shops and museum stores. 

Concept, sculptures, product and collateral created and designed by Rebecca Hahs and Gary Hahs. Stories written by Andy Bobrow. 
Awards: Museum Store Association Outstanding Fashion Product
