New Orleans-based artist Jennifer Dove Cooper is challenging traditional ideas of handbags with her unique creations made from recycled materials. Her purses, on display at the ESSE Purse Museum until Sunday 9/15, are crafted from items like egg cartons, clothing scraps, and water bottles, then adorned with intricate papier-mache and paint designs. Cooper’s work combines dark illustrations with whimsical elements, creating truly one-of-a-kind pieces.
Visitors to the museum can explore Cooper’s exhibition and also purchase a selection of her jewelry, ornaments, and decor. The exhibit is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, offering a glimpse into the artist’s creative process and innovative approach to fashion accessories.
For those looking to add a unique and eco-friendly touch to their wardrobe, Cooper’s Dovetail Purses offer a sustainable and artistic alternative to traditional handbags. By repurposing everyday items into fashionable accessories, Cooper is not only creating beautiful pieces but also promoting sustainability and creativity in the fashion industry.
Don’t miss the opportunity to view and purchase Cooper’s Dovetail Purses at the ESSE Purse Museum before the exhibition ends on Sunday. Explore the intersection of art, fashion, and sustainability with this captivating collection of handcrafted accessories.
