Thanks to everyone who have purchased our new Bon Journey bags on launch week. We couldn’t be happier with the response we got on these new bags which has left me spending my days painting to catch up with the orders. Definitely nothing to complain about, I’m extremely thrilled and excited to be making these products for you. Also, a big thank you to all of you for featuring our new Bon Journey bags on your lovely blogs and all the shout out on twitter. Hugs to you all!
All orders from last week was sent out today. For orders placed over the weekend and any new orders this week, my next postal run is on Monday, November 28. I’m painting a new batch of bags this week!
As you will see in the photos, my kitchen/dining has turned into a painting studio including my actual studio room in the house. Don’t you love my drying rack? I’m using our studio lights to dry bags and any other hooks, door knobs and anywhere I can find to hang these up for drying. It’s been working out well so far…
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. xo

All Bon Journey bags will come with a personal thank you card from us. With the gift giving Christmas season just around the corner, you might be giving these bags as a present and would like the card personalized to your special someone. Upon purchase, just send me an email with the personal message you want on the card including the gift giver and receivers name and I would be more than happy to personalize the card upon your request. These cards are fairly small so keep your message sweet & simple.



Bon Journey bags now available in the shop! I’ve been busy painting these past few days and I’m happy to finally have them available in the shop in time for the holiday season. The great thing about these bags is that they are unisex, so finally something for all the guys! I can’t believe Christmas is coming so soon. Hope everyone is staying warm – it’s cold out there! Much love, Nerissa





Almost there… We are working hard to get these bags in the shop soon. Been busy painting, painting & painting! Aiming for next week (fingers crossed).



Coming Soon! Canvas and Leather Mason Bags made by Heritage Leather Company in California with a stamped The New Domestic leather patch. Available in two colours, process yellow & basic red – hand painted by us using waterbased screen print ink. Hope to have it in the shop within a week or so…

Currently working on our next product line for the upcoming Christmas season. I’m a little late on my schedule but hope I can pull this through in time for Christmas.

I am honoured to be interviewed by London based design and lifestyle writer, Charlotte, of Lottie Loves. You can read my interview on work & life here. Also, check out the past interviews – an amazing list of such talented people!

If you ordered a tote the last couple of days, I am sending out all orders tomorrow. Thank you so much to everyone who have supported us from day 1. This all means so much to us. For those who have already received their totes, hope you’re enjoying them! xo

Irene of Bloesem kids & Bloesem Living had asked me if I wanted to be part of their Mom Stories. I feel honoured to be part of such a beautiful collection of creative moms from all around the world sharing their stories of life as a mom & as a creative person. The stories are all so inspiring and there are so many beautiful moms out there who not only do a great job taking care of their family, but also continue to pursue their creative endeavours. I can only hope my story will inspire you as much as the other stories have inspired me. You can read my story here.
