Handmade Obiandoli: the story of my little studio
This is a brand new site and we are still adding product. There is also a problem with viewing on a mobile device - we are working to resolve. A full site update will happen in the next few days - after this weekend's market! Thanks for your patience.
Hi there! Obiandoli - say oh-bee-AN-doe-lee - is a blend of my two former Etsy shops (Obiandoli Artisan Bags and Justified Junque) brought together into one cozy corner of the web.
The name - Obiandoli - is a combination of my parental surnames. It seemed fitting - I grew up in a fabric store, my family was in the fabric/decorating business for more than 50 years - and I wouldn't be who I am, or what I do today, without that!
Everything you see here is made by me, for you. I spend my days in the studio turning curated interior design showroom samples and repurposed textiles into one-of-a-kind treasures.
I’ve always been drawn to a relaxed, bohemian aesthetic—I like to call it 'perfectly imperfect.' Whether I'm stitching up a sturdy market tote, binding an artisan journal, or coiling a wonky fabric bowl, I focus on the little details to make sure every piece is as durable as it is beautiful. Because I love working with upcycled materials, most of my bags are original, one-off creations. I think that’s the true magic of handmade—owning something that is as unique as you are.
Thank you for choosing to shop small and for being a part of my journey to preserve the heartfelt art of handmade creations.
The Art of Scrappy Fabric and Rope Bowls
Each rope bowl or scrappy fabric bowl is meticulously coiled and stitched from high-quality natural cotton rope, cotton fabric scraps, or a mixture of the two, creating a sculptural piece that is as durable as it is beautiful. Our process celebrates the tactile rhythm of artisan construction, transforming simple materials into elegant, functional vessels for your home.
