Colourful Printed Bags from Vivre

We love bringing a little more colour into the world, and our printed cotton bags reflect that. Many feature cheerful floral prints or beautiful combinations of vintage fabrics. Because we use reclaimed textiles, only a few bags are available in each distinctive print. Our reversible styles offer two colourful designs in one, giving you even more ways to wear them.

Vivre Bags Made from Recycled Materials

At Vivre Atelier, we care about our planet. We celebrate makers who transform reclaimed fabrics and vintage saris into beautiful, authentic bags. Our aim is to offer thoughtfully handmade accessories while giving existing materials a new purpose.
