ClementinaBags

Hi! My name is Neta and I’m a mother, wife, designer and the owner of the bag brand “Clementina”.

Art and design is in my blood, as a granddaughter to two talented grandmothers, who created wonderful arts and crafts, and a daughter to a musician father, I was taught to listen to my heart and do what I love doing.

“Clementina” was founded during my visual communications studies at Wizo Haifa. The original idea was to make me and my friends happy by making bags that could not be found on the market. My love for nostalgia and my fascination with images, prints, shapes and composition already influenced these early designs that were incorporated with sewn old magazine pictures. Followed by my close circle of friends, more people showed interest in my bags and my business was born.

Today I still use those old magazine pictures in my designs, as well as pictures from the personal photo album of my late beloved grandmother Sophie. My love for the past has just increased and it’s important to me to take the old and enhance it to fit newer times. Just like a student’s backpack used to carry books and now carries tablets, my designed take the vintage inspiration and refine them to the sophisticated, technological society we have become.

Apart from the past, I’m also inspired by fashion shows, shopping and day to day life. The world around us s full of amazing ideas!

My bags are all vegan; I use faux leather and lovely, soft, durable poly canvas fabrics with wonderful prints. Some designs start with the shape and I find the perfect fabrics to fit them and others, start with a print and the bag is built all around it. All my bags are individually hand sewn.

So, thank you for taking the time to read and get to know me a little bit better.
Enjoy your visit!
