Artist Andrea Bergamot is giving new meaning to the term 'athleisure' after having released a line of sports' ball handbags that combine the artist's passion for sports, with high-fashion art.
These made-to-order bags are constructed from real balls, including basketballs and volley balls, making for an unconventional yet authentic statement piece. In addition, these bags are embellished with gold accents, including zippered pockets, as well as sturdy handles, resulting in a fully functioning accessory that's sure to turn some heads. Because each piece is made-to-order, the bags offer a sense of individuality as no two look alike.
These sports ball bags are available in a variety of iterations and are available through the artist's website.
