Bags are utilitarian in nature but that doesn’t mean they can’t be vibrant, playful, and stylish. The amount of variety you can find with bags makes it very easy to find one that speaks to you in terms of style, and using it as an accessory can go that extra mile to complete your favourite outfit or just to make you feel good when you’re out on the town. Here at ACA we have some very talented artisans who handcraft gorgeous bags, so take a look to see what you’ve been missing!

One-of-a-Kind Messenger Bag

Dreadful Leather does incredible work with leather, as evidenced by their bags. Handmade in Perth out of quality leather, each of their products is designed to be very practical while also being statement pieces.

A good example of this is The Messenger, a crossbody bag that is exquisitely handmade from the stitching right down to the buckle. A bag like this will let you stand out from the crowd!

A Lovely Little Crossbody Purse

Boundless Bags is a business that takes pride in making quality bags and accessories, and their line of products feature truly unique designs that you won’t be seeing anywhere else. 

Their Crossbody Market Mini is the perfect lightweight bag for carrying all the essentials whether it’s a day out with your friends or an evening spent with your loved ones. The crossbody strap is adjustable and the bag features a large exterior pocket on the back and another exterior pocket on the front. 

Cute Organic Cotton Phone Bag

If you like to leave the house with only the barest of essentials (such as your phone), you need to check out the works of Jord Organics. Made from organic cotton, their phone and water bottle holders are extremely durable, with the added benefit of organic cotton being less prone to pilling than conventional cotton. 

You can order the Phone Bag with your choice of 11 different colours, and it also comes with an adjustable strap to allow for comfort when you’re out and about. This is a cute way to carry your phone without having to worry about it falling out of your pockets!

Show Off Your Vintage Vibe With a Foldover Bag

There is nothing more unique than a bag that has a double-sided design, and that’s just what Madbagss is offering. This type of bag allows you to choose between two types of designs, and the bag itself can be folded over into a smaller size. 

The Vintage Floral Fold Over Bag features a cute spotted design as well as a lovely vintage floral design. The ability to convert it from a fold over bag to a “long look” bag makes it a versatile piece that can be worn to any kind of occasion. The bag also makes a great travel bag due to how easily accessible it is. 

Carry All Your Hobby Accessories With a Beautiful Project Tote

If you’ve ever been serious about a hobby, you know that sometimes carrying all the necessary tools can be a pain. Fortunately Mickey and Lou have come up with a great solution: totes handmade in Sydney that feature spindle heavyweight fabric or heavy linen that have been hand-dyed in a shibori style. 

Their Project Tote In Riverbend Snow is the perfect size to carry any craft and hobby supplies. The tote is lined with linen and has an internal size pocket and closes with a linen or cotton drawstring. The easily accessible double front pocket is perfect for storing smaller tools.  

Bags As Useful As They Are Beautiful

These handmade bags are entirely unique in their designs, and are also a perfect representation of the creativity and quality craftsmanship exhibited by Australian artisans. Practical and gorgeous, they’re the perfect accessory!
