Yay! RevoluzZzionary Design in Tokyo, Dublin and Berlin

Categories: Bags / Taschen, News / Aktuelles, Weihnachten/Christmas

Recently I took part at a competition of a local bag designer: tauschetasche.

It’s a pretty successfull shop with a nice idea: You can change the cover of your bag whenever you like and there are many, many different covers you can buy. And so it’s like you have a new bag when you change the cover (and every woman loves new bags of course). Or you change the cover for a special occasion. Or just another cover for every outfit. Most of the stylish women and mommies here in Berlin/Prenzlauer Berg own a tauschetasche-bag (and of course I …

Kittygirl – Next Generation

Categories: Stuffed animals / Stofftiere

Alright. I liked the first kittygirl – but some things were not that good as i thought they would be. So here is the Kittygirl – Next Generation:

This time i decided to make stitched eyes instead of felt eyes – and the body and the head shape is a bit different, too.

What do you think?

New Creatures

Categories: News / Aktuelles, Stuffed animals / Stofftiere

I really like the theme “creatures” a lot – and it made me think about a creature I wanted to make already a long time ago.

My kids are huge fans of the book “Where the Wild Things Are” and there is this little lion-hearted boy Max who has exciting adventures and wears a wolf costume. Although it’s just a costume it made me wanna create a softie that is half human  and half an animal. Of course this is a very old idea that was used already in very old mythological stories (Sphinx, Centaur, Minotaur, mermaids and so on).…

Categories: News / Aktuelles

I’m very excited and happy about the fact, that I’m invited to join some of my RevoluzZza creatures to an exhibition in Los Angeles. Mr. Funky is organizing a show at the gallery Ghetto Gloss at the end of September this year. The theme is “creatures” – and I LOVE it.

Alright, there is lot’s of work to do now :-)

BTW: Do you know “Mr. Funky”? She is an amazing artist and is creating “crochet stuffed animals and knit wear with retro 1920’s to 1970’s styling”. And her creations are really great -  have a look at her …

Bags, bags, bags…

For a special event I designed a new type of RevoluzZza bags. It’s a very simple but special shape. I wanted it to be just straight and plain vanilla.

And here it is:

For now there are two types: one with an appliqué and one just plain.

There are more bags like this to come. I think :-)

The Pippi Bag

Categories: Bags / Taschen

After I made so many stuffed animals… I really liked to create something different. I didn’t make any bags for quite some time – so I thought it would be great to make some more bags.

This is one I made for my little daughter who just started to go to the kindergarten – and needed a kindergarten bag. She is a huge Pippi Longstocking fan. Sometimes when we ask her what her name is – she even answers: “I am…. PIPPILOTTAAA!” (Remember? Pippi Longstockings whole name is: Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Ephraimsdaughter Longstocking :-) ).

Well, so it has …
