Vincent van Gogh bags

Fashionable and unusual is how you could describe canvas style Van Gogh bag. What distinguishes this bag is its print: the most characteristic excerpt from the famous painting Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh. These bags are made of sturdy canvas with a plastic coating. The bag can be closed with a zipper, is padded, has an inside zipper compartment, and a pocket for mobile phones. Because of its generous size (35 x 40 x 12cm), it offers plenty of room to carry everything you need when you are on the go. Elegant yet practical.

Sunflowers

The sunflowers series consists of three different paintings with fifteen sunflowers in a vase and two with twelve sunflowers in a vase. Vincent van Gogh painted these works in 1888 and 1889 while living in Arles in southern France. The paintings where used by Paul Gauguin, a good friend of Van Gogh, to decorate his bedroom. Today, they can be found in five museums in as many countries. The Van Gogh bag is based on the Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers exhibited at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

About Vincent van Gogh

Van Gogh was born in the Netherlands and later went to live in Paris and other places in France. He did not have such a happy life and people in his lifetime disliked his beautiful paintings. In all his life, he managed to sell only one of his paintings. He earned no money and remained forever dependent on his parents and brother Theo. He takes to drink and is eventually admitted to a psychiatric hospital. In 1890, he decided - on advice of his doctor - to concentrate on painting and he made his final series: On July 29, 1890, Vincent van Gogh died, leaving behind more than 850 paintings and nearly 1,300 works on paper.
