DENA ROY IS A COLLECTION OF HANDBAGS THAT ARE HANDMADE IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. COMBINING UNIQUE TEXTURES TO CREATE INDIVIDUALISTIC PIECES; THE EXTERIOR OF EACH BAG IS MADE OF 100% ITALIAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN HAND SELECTED LEATHERS AND PAIRED WITH A ONE OF A KIND, HAND DYED LINER.
IN AN EFFORT TO ELIMINATE WASTE AND USE EVERY PART OF THE BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE HIDES WE SELECT FOR DENA ROY BAGS, WE HAVE DECIDED TO EMPHASIZE THE BEAUTY IN A NEW FORM. WE ARE REPURPOSING THE SCRAP LEATHER AND LINER THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED IN PRODUCTION AND INCORPORATING IT INTO OUR OWN ACRYLIC PAINTINGS.
THESE PAINTINGS ARE AN EXTENSION OF OUR BAGS AND ARE MEANT TO CELEBRATE THE MATERIALS WE USE - TEXTURES, COLORS, IMPERFECTIONS AND ALL.
IN THE PAST WE HAVE USED THE SCRAPS TO CREATE NEW, SMALLER STYLES TO MAKE USE OF THOSE LEATHER REMNANTS, NOW WE WANT TO PUT THEM ON DISPLAY JUST AS THEY ARE.
