LAist Tote by Local Artist Kelly Malka

The white cotton tote bag features a colorful and detailed illustration of iconic Southern California scenes created by Los Angeles artist Kelly Malka. Kelly said: “When making this piece I was thinking of all the times I’ve been asked as someone who was born and raised in Los Angeles, is LA really like how it is in the movies? My answer is usually ‘well no, but in some ways, yes.’ LA is so much more than its infamous facade.” Kelly was inspired by the complexity of Los Angeles when she created her design. She said: “To me, LA is a city of contradictions: its grimy yet beautiful, industrial yet natural, laid back yet full of energy. LA is this giant city overloaded with diversity— in its people, its landscape, its food, its culture." ($6.00 will be added for shipping and handling. Please allow up to 6 weeks for shipping.)
