Seattle, Washington artists Jon and Tracy Haaland of Chemical Wedding take pride in creating unique handbags using new leathers, recycled, post-industrial scrap, and factory second leathers. The artistic process is what they love, and it shows. The name "Chemical Wedding," according to Jon and Tracy, represents an "alchemical transmutation of form," such as when alchemists in the Middle Ages tried to turn lead into gold. Jon and Tracy "transform fine art and design into a utilitarian piece of elegant, wearable sculpture uniting form and function." I especially love the combination of wood and leather. Check out the nice curved handle on the last bag. I'm drawn to the gorgeous colors in all three. You can see more Chemical Wedding bags at Gallery Five. Or, contact Jon and Tracy through their Chemical Wedding blog if you want to request a custom bag.
wow, I LOVE these. I want the yellow one.
