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.
