It looks like leather and feels like leather but in fact, Made By Frank’s bags and sacks are crafted from paper that washes like fabric and wears like denim. It’s the perfect all-purpose material that can be rolled, scrunched and folded and used in a myriad of ways, from bread baskets through to laundry baskets and pot plant holders. Made By Frank has taken things a step further and has created a clutch to carry your belongings or as a handy case for your iPad mini.

Alongside washable paper products, Made By Frank crafts a range of cement pots and concrete wall hooks and miscellaneous other bits and bobs. The Brisbane-based brand is the work of avid DIYer, crafter and all round maker of pretty things, Bec Stabler. Keep an eye out as the clever lass will be hosting a DIY concrete planter workshop at The Craft Parlour next month. Browse Made By Frank’s collection online or through the Daisy Chain Store, which can be found at The Village Markets and the Gold Coast Design Collective Market.
