About the Artist

Danielle Rahe Fox

www.daniellerahefox.com

danielle@daniellerahefox.com

Edu­cated in fine art and influ­enced by her father’s pro­fes­sion as an archi­tect, Danielle Rahe Fox explores form and space rela­tion­ships in her work using

  graphite line, sewn line, and acrylic glazes.   Danielle starts each paint­ing by draw­ing a graphite line ges­ture influ­enced by her obser­va­tions found in nature or the envi­ron­ment around her.  Using acrylic glazes and washes, she lay­ers the paint and inte­grates the sewn line on trac­ing paper into the work. The sewn lines emu­late the express­ing of the graphite lines. The rhythm and move­ment in her works often por­tray her love for dance and music.  

 Danielle received her M.F.A. in Paint­ing from the Acad­emy of Art in San Fran­cisco, CA and her B.S. in Fine Art from Biola Uni­ver­sity in La Mirada, CA.  She has been cre­at­ing works of art for twelve years and exhibits through­out California.  Danielle has taught at the Col­le­giate, High School and Mid­dle School lev­els and has led an art his­tory tour in Italy.   She cur­rently works as a full-time artist in Santa Cruz, CA where her stu­dio is located.  Her work can be found in pri­vate col­lec­tions through­out the United States.

What’s not to love about a gor­geous leather bag, hand sewn out of old leather jacket that were prob­a­bly going to get thrown out or donated? The way that hum­bug reuses old jack­ets, skirts, and pants inspires us to rum­mage through our own clos­ets and start cut­ting and sewing. Incorporating the orig­i­nal pock­ets, zip­pers, pleats, and but­tons into the bags, each one is as unique and dif­fer­ent as the jack­ets from which they came. Hum­bug also lines each purse with gor­geous dif­fer­ent pat­terned fab­rics and mate­ri­als adding  a lit­tle bit of fem­i­nine touch! All these gor­geous hand made bags come in vari­eties of col­ors, from black to choco­late browns and beige or chest­nut, with mes­sen­ger, over the shoul­der, or braided straps! And as a Stripe Exclu­sive for our cus­tomers, bring in an old leather jacket you (or some­one you know) don’t wear any­more, and we will get it made into a hum­bug purse for you, and save $20 off your own cus­tom creation!!

This is eas­ily one of our favorite pieces we’ve got­ten our hands on. It has such intri­cate wood work and is so well made. It’s in absolutely per­fect con­di­tion as well.  Sim­i­lar design to those of Kent Cof­fee in the 50’s and 60’s.  Would make an amaz­ing wardrobe, linen closet, enter­tain­ment cab­i­net, or china cabinet!

It mea­sures 40″ w X 21.5″ d X 72″ h

This is an absolutely gor­geous lit­tle teak dresser, in per­fect shape!

It mea­sures, 36“l x 18″ d x 30″ h

Price: $380

Where do we start? We are so excited about our new purses, all made from vin­tage leather jack­ets!!  They are gor­geous. They are all dif­fer­ent and unique. They are hand­made in Port­land, Ore­gon. They are but­tery soft. They all have the orig­i­nal integrity of the jacket they were made from.  They have great lin­ings and pock­ets galore!!  Come see the great selec­tion and vari­ety of designs, col­ors, and textures.
