I’ve got my eye on The Gift Bag Factory lately because they work with illustrators from all over the world and I think that’s pretty cool. From Foxy + Winston, Sesame Letterpress, Pancake + Franks, Sukie, John McDonald Design to Ambriel Floyd, Janette Ritter, Looky Loo, Dewey Howard, Binth and others have pulled together some of the best gift bags ever. Total hotness! 
Can you imagine some of these beautiful bags filled with fresh flowers to give to a friend? What about a few as an inexpensive centerpiece option with fresh peonies or roses arranged inside for a girly luncheon or baby shower? Of course, they’re also great for toting around your junk or for the more common purpose, placing a gift inside for a friend, but think outside the bag and you may come up with some creative ideas for using these sweet bags for yourself. Maybe in the home office to store spare supplies and such?

DUDE. My day job is at a stationery company and gift bags haven’t excited me like this in a while. Great stuff!!

I’m so excited, I feel all bubbly inside!
They’ve captured my 3 major obsessions in one… bags, paper products & gorgeous patterns! Thank you! Thank you!

I love these bags, actually we will be adding the line to our boutique. They are not ordinary bags, these are exceptionally made. When you hear wearable art this may fit the profile, the fact that you can share art like this is cool.

Ohhh, I’ve been waiting for something to come around like this for so long! Thank you for sharing this with us Holly!
My favorite way to recycle old gift bags is to use decorative craft punches and make gift tags and labels out of them for the next round of gift giving! These bags would serve so many purposes… How fabulous!
