Prints and pouches
Take your pick — pillows and bright fabrics pair up with botanical designs for the home. Plus, purses and duffle bags for spring break and off-duty pursuits.
Bag it in style
Charleston, S.C.-based artist Lulie Wallace has a floral attraction. It shows in her bold and bright still-life paintings and prints, which have attracted small buyers and big retailers, such as Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie (one of her favorite stores).
In addition to her paintings, the Columbus, Ga., native and College of Charleston grad has created a line of textiles. Her bags and travel pouches pack a lot of style and come in a range of pastels, geometrics and — modern florals.
The “Daffodil” weekender bag is a current favorite. The bag ($88) is made of cotton duck with cotton web handles. Other products include large duffel bags ($139), pillows ($108) and zippered pouches in two sizes ($22 to $28). To order, visit www.luliewallace.com. At the site, check out her paintings and prints, which quickly sell out.
