G.M. Handmade is the brand of Grażyna from Gdynia, who hand-crochets cord bags, hats and table sets. You’ll find her pieces at Locus Artis in Gdańsk.
It started in a nail salon, where another woman was showing her handmade bags. Grażyna fell for them straight away, bought one for her daughter and wanted one just like it for herself. She began learning from YouTube tutorials, and her first bag gave her so much satisfaction that she wanted to make more. For two years now she has been looking for new patterns and making.
Her favourite technique is crocheting bags from cord. What matters most to her is the texture of the stitch, careful finishing and the details that give every bag a character of its own. As she puts it: “Every stitch matters, and every bag is unique and one of a kind.”
What she brought to Locus Artis.
To Locus Artis Grażyna brought bags, hats and table sets. For herself she would pick a bag in her favourite colour.
Grażyna also takes custom orders – you can choose the yarn and the trimmings.
