Eco-Conscious "Catch of the Day" Messenger Bags


Wow! These big, stylish bags caught our eye like an errant fish hook! We find them irresistible for their bold, colorful graphics - and inventive repurposing of old rice bags. Plus their manufacturing process is more than humane - it's enlightened: Our Catch of the Day Messenger Bags are imported from Australia, where the manufacturers work with a not-for-profit business aiding landmine victims and the urban poor of Cambodia. The organization strives to teach and preserve traditional Khmer arts and handicrafts – at the same time enabling the people of the poverty-stricken region to better care for themselves and their families.

Handstitched Tao Journals & Sketchbooks
Traditional Chinese painters aimed to capture the inner essence of the visual form. Their rhythmic brushstrokes on silk or paper were attuned to give form to the invisible forces of the universe - the Tao that pervades the world we inhabit. These paintings by four Chinese Masters of the 14th to 16th centuries reveal the workings of the Tao through the vitality and expressiveness of their brushstrokes and the harmonious rhythm of composition. Handstitched open-back spines with sturdy silk matte covers over boards, the pages are lightly lined on a cream paper. Available in four styles Plum Blossoms, Bamboo, Sunset Landscape, and Egrets.

Handstitched Meditations Journals

The Buddhist glyphs
on the covers above:
Om (top), and Ha.
In the East, writing is revered as a gift from the gods, representing not only mystical revelation, but also seen as a tool for enlightenment. The transformative experience of contemplative Buddhist calligraphy is visible in the intensity and simplicity of inspired strokes of brush and ink. Inherent in the expression of these divine alphabetical characters is the flowing of the brushwork from a clear mind and a calm heart rather than solely from artistic ability.These journals feature a handstitched binding, a favorite of writers, which allows the book to lay open flat for ease of writing.
