HANDMADE WITH LOVE
LOVE IT a small one person screen printing and hand painted fabric studio in heart of Amsterdam and was founded by Ingrid. She went to art school and has had a long career as stylist in advertisements.
Some adventures later, a Fairytale (wholesale) Shop & ISH.Amsterdam ( Ingrid-Sylvie-Hester) with hand painted canvas products, she found a way to combine all the things she loved; painting, drawing, fabric design & sewing . You can find Ingrid on Instagram at @lloveitamsterdaml and @ingridkorteknie

SUSTAINABILITY
The project bags are made for crafters and made with raw, untreated canvas cotton. The inks are water based and Love it uses her imaginative and adveturous mind to find ever new ways of how to to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible. From reusing (Scrap bags) and using as little material as possible during the print process to making something beautiful from even the smallest printed scraps. It is Love it's ambition to create a product that is long lasting and will become a good friend. A friend you want to keep forever. And if you live in Amsterdam you can contribute by picking up your purchase at the studio. And of course you will get a free tour and a cupp'a.
​
STURDY CANVAS
Love it believes in raw, untreated canvas that stands upright by itself. It is not only excellent for the painting and printing process (Ingrid is a passionate painter) - it also facilitates comfortable knitting/crocheting hours. Your yarn can float undisturbed from the craftbag to the needles. However the new digital printed bags are much softer and can be stuffed easily into your bag.
​
NO LINING
Love it also fimrly believe in the unlined craft bag. The yarnball in your bag can unspool smoothly, no friction and no searching for items in the folds of the lining. Leaving the lining also makes our bags surprisingy lightweight while being sturdy and durable. last but not least it also contributes to the bags' sustainability.
​
It's all Hand Made here in Amsterdam and small imperfections come with the Bag. Hope you understand.

​
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Love it bags can be hand- and machine washed at up to 30 decrees Celsius. Don't leave them hours in the machine.. they will get too wrinkled. Make sure to remove any leather pulls and to use a mild, liquid detergent and dry the bags lying flat. The bags can be ironed & pressed back into shape. The heat will change the color for a few seconds..don't worry!
