    1. Choose an artist

    Discover an artist from our curated Artist Spotlight gallery, showcasing some of Australia's most talented artists. Dive into a diverse array of art styles, each hand-selected to enhance your handbag collection.

    Collaborate with an artist to create a piece of art on your handbag uniquely tailored to you.

    Fancy a pop art rendition of flowers? An abstract portrayal of your favourite creature? A realistic depiction of your favourite landscape?

    Let's bring your vision to life!

    2. Create a design

    Once you have chosen an artist on our Artist Spotlight page, simply fill in our ‘Lets Works Together’ form to begin your artistic journey. We will request images of your bag and your artwork ideas so we can collaborate with the artist to build you a quote for the work.

    For a digital mock up of your design, a small fee of $50 + GST is required which can be deducted from your final quote. Please note - some artists do not offer digital designs but hand drawn design may be applicable.

    When you are happy with your quote and artist you can send your bag directly to Bagsamoré who will take care of the rest. Each bag is cleaned on the exterior to prepare for the artwork and sealed on completion to ensure longevity.
