To help you shortlist, here are some cool artsy bags!
Akayla is a brand started by the 24-year-old artist Manas Mahendra whose inspiration is to give voice to art. Every product of his collection is designed to be a relatable, personal work of art that speaks to the world we live in. Mahendra says, “We strive to create a brand that elevates art to a larger stage, through the products we use in our daily lives. Each Akayla product is unique in its appeal and message, and is sustainably manufactured”.
The name Akayla translates to ‘alone’ in English and this quintessential collection takes its inspiration from a man sitting alone in a room, immersed in his thoughts. Speaking to us on the ideology behind the bags, Mahendra shared, “I’ve spent countless nights alone in my studio, creating art, and that image has always stayed with me. It is the essence of Akayla. Akayla is a name that embodies solitude, creativity, and the pursuit of one’s vision”.
The best part about these bags is that they are quirky, freshly painted, and all things aesthetic. Made on cotton jute bags, these are a perfect pick for all the earth-lovers and people who root for environmental consciousness.
From florals, abstract art, and Hindi typography to pride, solitude, and oneness—these designs are a perfect pick for your casual, ethnic, and even dressy college looks!
