Handmade with love.
UPCYCLED BAGS: The uniqueness of the Love Katy upcycle range is that some part of the bag has been pre-loved and given a new life, whether that be the towel, the lining, the zip, or in some cases, the entire bag. This means each item is limited.
Best of all, my bags are handmade in Australia. I source all materials locally and pour my love into making them. I hope you love your bag as much as I do!
NEW BAGS: Though I love upcycled items, I totally understand that some people don't. That’s why I also offer handmade bags made with new materials.
Please read the description of each bag where it states if the bag has been upcycled or not.
Each different design of bag represents the word love in a different language.. I am so proud and grateful that my business is worldwide, and I wanted to represent that. My first design the ‘Älskar’ bag was the style of bag that I first sent overseas to Sweden.
Hello! My name is Katy, the owner, and creator of Love Katy Australia.
Love Katy Australia evolved in February 2020. I went on a girls trip overseas to Hawaii and when I returned back to Australia I realised the beach towel I had used the entire trip had torn. My Mum had been teaching me how to sew and had the genius idea to turn the towel into a cosmetic bag, as a special memory from the amazing holiday I had.
My love of second-hand shopping came in to play when I started noticing beautiful pre-loved and vintage towels at thrift stores. I started making bags for my loved ones. From there on my business has grown and evolved into something I never imagined!
There is nothing I love more than seeing something old have a new purpose and finding a new home. I hope you all enjoy the bags as much as I do and thank you for being a part of this journey!
Love Katy xx
