Customized Tote Bags From Erin Jester

Erin Jester's hand-painted tote.

I’m a college student, and I won’t lie, this semester was rough for me.

You’ll be glad to know I managed to pass everything, but there were an awful lot of distractions. One such distraction was Erin Jester’s canvas bag. We shared a couple classes and I would often find myself staring at it when my mind had strayed from otherwise decisive note-taking.

I said something about it to her during one of our most recent meetings, and when I asked her where she got it, she said simply, ” I made it.”

Now, that’s the kind of response I like to hear. She said she hand-painted them for people over the course of about two days each, and she usually stuck to album art. I asked her if she’d be interested in doing a logo instead, and now I have a sick, reppin’ fashion accessory.

Worth it.

If you’re interested in a funky, one-of-a-kind bag, give Erin Jester a holler. (erinjester@gmail.com) $30 sucka.
