"She Speaks of Home" Composted Mailbag (Extra Extra)

The Compost "She Speaks of Home" Mailbag

A present from the past, delivered with no return address..

This piece draws inspiration from the mailman sling bags of midcentury America, shaded by a myriad of tones of from the palette of the world. The body of this bag nods to home with a beautiful paneled antique American quilt, and juxtaposes them with its lining, a deep abyss of antique indigo hailing from Japan.  The dense paneling of this quilt shares a striking interplay of colors and patterns.

Divinity is in the details see, the body of the piece comes fully lined with antique Japanese fabric, and while most mailbags come with an unsealable open mouth, ours can be secured by an antiqued centered button, and held securely across your body or over your shoulder with the attached antique Japanese Obi sling strap.  The Extra Extra bag is the biggest size of the "Old News" mailbags, sized 16" W x 12" H x 12" D with a 37" strap.
