Hi, I'm Aliya Bora, a watercolor artist, designer, and luxury stationer based in San Diego, California. Every design in this shop starts as an original watercolor painting I make by hand, inspired by my travels around the world.
In the shop you'll find a great a curated array of gift items for travelers and stationery lovers – watercolor luggage and suitcases, luggage tags, passport covers, travel totes, and accessory pouches, along with lined and blank journals, stationery, coffee mugs, phone cases, and holiday ornaments. These items were designed to serve your gifting needs for birthdays, graduations, bridesmaids, honeymoons, or a treat for your own next trip.
I have a decade of experience working in media, and split my time consulting on media projects, traveling the globe, and creating designs for this shop. Storytelling has always been at the heart of my work, and these designs are my way of sharing the stories of the places I've been.
Thank you for supporting independent art. For custom watercolor commissions or licensing, send me a message or visit aliyabora.com.
