Batch Number One Complete!


It was a long and anxiety ridden journey with a great learning curve but it was most joyful, and we are happy to say that we have completed our first batch of tote bags.  We completed a total of five bags and we are squealing with delight but teeming with sadness as we think about releasing our babies into the world outside our small studio.  We hope they find good homes and are as loved by you as they were by us.  To view our newly birthed bags click here.

We are also happy to announce our bags will be for sale at Smith located at 28 Nugent St. in Southampton, NY.  Check out Smith's myspace page here, and if you are in the neighborhood you should certainly stop by and discover the wonders that exist within, and as always support the local artists.

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome!

Welcome to the maiden voyage of maria + bea!  The proverbial bottle of champagne has been broken across the bow of our sea worthy vessel and our sails have been hoisted for what we hope will be a long journey.

I will quell my long-windedness to allow our work to speak for itself.  We are in the process of creating a series of hand-made tote bags with our original embroidered designs, to view the first completed work in this series click here.  We hope you enjoy our first installment and we look forward to seeing some of you landlubbers out on the high seas.
