And if you are infatuated with the unique, charming, versatile, and ingenious products that Kalencom produces, then you’ll be just as esctatic as we are. We are honored and excited to announce that Kalencom has teamed up with fabric and pattern designer Amy Butler to introduce their new line of beautiful bags, reflecting the designer’s Midwest modern style.

Amy Butler started her business in the late 1980s, designing passport sized bags out of fabrics and materials that she enjoyed collecting from all over the world. Her love for combining the eclectic has embodied her work into a culture in and of itself. Because her love for nature and art as an artist has deviated her from conventional trends, she has come to inspire many other artists to present their ideas and styles from a much more intimate and unique perspective.

Her taste for color, stitching, patterns, and prints truly radiates from each finished product, both inside and out. Whether you’re traveling abroad or heading to the local grocery store, these bags make a fun and fashionable statement anywhere you go!  It is a quilter’s dream when you’re surrounded by and wearing these beautifully patterned pieces of what are essentially aesthetic paragons of art.
