Julia Carry All

Julia is paradoxical, bold, everlasting

The original Trudy Carry All handbag. Vibrant and versatile - she's the perfect companion for everyday use.

She looks and feels small and compact, but she's magically spacious allowing you to bring along everything you need for each day's adventure. She comfortably carries your phone, wallet, keys, a small water bottle, a scarf, a notebook, a camera, a snack, a treasure picked up along the way.

The Trudy Carry All features two outside pockets covered safely by a flap. These pockets are great for slipping your phone or sunglasses for easy access. She also has a small zipper pocket internally for keeping smaller items safe.

She features an adjustable strap making her versatile. She can be worn comfortably across the body, slung across your back when biking or dancing (essential), or with the strap shortened she can be carried as a shoulder bag.

Whatever the adventure the Trudy Carry All moves with you.

Fabric Inspiration

Julia is a wink  of a street, just a block and a half, tucked just a skip away from the sewing studio in SoMa where Trudy is crafted.

Named after my grandmother Julia Ann, who was an innovative abstract artist in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Grandma Julia's art bares the use of raw layers, lines, blocks, spaces, shapes, expressed in unconventional materials and techniques. Her pieces are vast, textural works that surrounded me in my childhood home and left me feeling, calm, curious, and awe-inspired.

I never met my grandmother but her art and spirit inspires me and her love for the southwest is in my blood - when I found this fabric I knew it was special.  Julia is a bold, unconventional, striking, abstract expression for your inner artist.
