Tattoo art has been attaining cache in the mainstream as of late.  Not just for sailors anymore, tattoos have become as American as apple pie.  In such, the art work itself is being appreciated by the masses.

Fashion accessory company TOKYObay acknowledges this appreciation by launching their new line of retro inspired bags and totes, aptly title TATTOO.   The new collection includes totes, wallets, clutches and cosmetic bags in classic red, black or pink featuring 1940’s inspired tattoo art. Beautifully printed color images, with messages of ‘True Love Forever’ around hearts, roses and birds, adorn the stylish bags. 

Just named to Oprah’s ‘O’ list of must haves TOKYObay is an industry favorite for classically forward watches and hip, yet functional, bags.  The San Francisco based fashion company has been an insider’s secret for years.  Yet, they are just now emerging to the public with the new collection and launch of their retail site.

The modern meets retro aesthetic is exemplified by the design duo, who hails from Japan and England, respectfully.  The cultural influences of the designers are evident: sleek architectural fundamentals juxtaposed with eclectically nostalgic details.           

TATTOO is just that, classically chic bags with a retro art appeal. Wear you heart on your sleeve, or if you’re not so brave, carry it on your shoulder.  Available at www.tokyobayinc.com.
