Bag No. 48

I usually don't buy art, but carrying one of the 50 numbered pieces feels like I've got a gallery under my arm—the paint texture is visible up close, and it's genuinely wearable.

Mine is number 23 of the 50, and knowing the leather panel is literally cut from Lana Gomez’s original painted canvas makes it feel less like an accessory and more like owning a piece of a gallery show. The fact that it’s a numbered edition adds a weight to it I didn’t expect from a bag.

The number on mine is 37, and knowing it’s one of only fifty cut straight from a real painting makes it feel less like a bag and more like a tiny gallery I can carry. The canvas texture still has that artist’s brushstroke feel, which I wasn’t expecting from a handbag.
