The New England Bag Co- Kate Hannent, Tamworth NSW
Kate's artistic journey revolves around designing and meticulously handcrafting one-of-a-kind textile bags and delightful rag dolls, each piece thoughtfully curated from an extensive array of exquisite fabrics.
What sets her creations apart is the ingenious incorporation of traditionally made oilcloth, a remarkable technique her GG Grandfather skillfully mastered in the l1880's. Drawing inspiration from his legacy as a renowned tailor in the New England area of NSW, who adeptly fashioned waterproof coats for local stockmen, Kate continues to breathe life into her creations, adding a touch of heritage to every unique piece she lovingly brings to life.
