5 out of 5 starsI bought this as a gift for my wife and she absolutely loves it. It is very high quality craftsmanship, and she loves that it’s one of a kind, very functional and pretty all at the same time. Delivery was prompt.

Melanie Murphy and the Evolution of Funky Thistle
Funky Thistle is fuelled by a love of textiles. My love of working with fabrics began as a child and led me to pursue a BFA in Fine and Studio Arts at NASCAD University in Halifax, NS. I had the opportunity at this time to explore different medium but I was continually drawn to textiles. They offer combinations of textures, colours and patterns that are endless and this makes it such an inspiring medium to work with.
Funky Thistle and the messenger bags I am known for evolved in 2005 while living in the spectacular town in Canmore, Alberta. I wanted to create something perfect for those looking for slow fashion, pieces that are fun and unique and also durable and practical.
Many Funky Thistle bags feature an appliqué carefully cut with very sharp scissors and sewn onto the bags. I continue to add new images to my collection. They often come from photos or original drawings.
Each piece is individually crafted with much consideration and attention detail. I strive for unique design and fine craftsmanship and above all I want to make beautiful things for the world.
