Focused Skateboard Bags
Focused is a collection of handmade skateboard bags by Sophie Mason. Each one has been lovingly created by a used up board with it’s own unique history. When the skaters’ boards breaks Sophie takes over by doing her magic. Using other materials that she collects she makes each one into one of 3 designs before documenting the boards history and placing it in the bag…as individual as a fingerprint. “It is this idea of finding beauty in the most unexpected places that has brought about the use of skateboards and other recycled products in what we consider to be a beautiful outcome. Stay Focused.” With each one being handmade they are limited in numbers, get one while you can. It’s not often I wish I was a woman!
Update - 10/08/06 - Sophie has finally sorted out a proper website to promote her bags.
