Heart-shaped Bag

'There is a sofa, the best in the world. The most comfortable. The most beautiful. And it’s yours only. Because each of us likes to feel happy and safe. And your sofa allows you to immerse yourself. It hugs you. It gives you the feeling that you exist only here and now. You can curl up on it and cry away your anger. Fall asleep and, under a tartan blanket, dream of a happy future. Tea with lemon tastes best on this sofa. The Sofas collection is inspired by the constant need for happiness.' - Justyna Anna Smółka
This is how an artist herself describes the collection of prints called 'Kanapy' (Sofas) that she created in collaboration with Washpapa - the company that manufactures craft paper.

When I used this print for the first time, I said that I loved the combination of sofas and dressing tables, which are very feminine pieces of furtniture - and so are the handbags very feminine accessories. And if we think deeper, a bag serves very often like a compact dressing table, as most of us carry in it a lot of cosmetics and other necessities.

A bag is also an extension of our house, like this sofa from the description at the beginning, the bag gives us some sort of safety. No matter where we go, we always have that familiar object, full of personal bits and bobs, with us.

This bag has even more cosiness added thanks to amazing pompom trim in lilac colour. Pompoms are very soft and added on both sides of the bag.


Bag has a double pull zipper and it can be worn on either side.
The cerise lining is waterproof and has one flat pocket.

Would you prefer a heart-shaped bag instead of a heart-shaped box of chocolates? I definitely would!
