Rachel Pepper of Kingfly Design and the film 'Objectified'


So I am at church on Sunday and I notice that both the girl sitting in front of me and the girl sitting to the side of me have these fresh, bold, modern bags that I have never seen anything like before. I thought that they must be handmade since they are so original. Turns out, the bags are made by the girl who was sitting to the side of me -- Rachel Pepper. She is the creative force behind Kingfly Design. She studied fabric design here at UGA, did a desk gig for a while in Atlanta, and through the process of making her bags just as a creative outlet, got so much word -of-mouth business that she quit her job and moved back to Athens to do this full time. She is the real deal guys. Her sense of design is genius. Check her out.



And after you are seriously wanting to buy all of her bags, watch this independent film (go to the website and click on the trailer tab to see what I'm talking about).



From the director (Gary Hustwit) who also did the film Helvetica, I was SO INSPIRED by this film... I mean the people on there who are so passionate about what they do and why they create things the way that they do... it really gives insight into how the aesthetic and utilitarian aspects of the creative process intersect.

Okay that's all I guess :)
