Welcome to a world full of creations that make life just a little bit more beautiful! Olivia Bertus makes colorful bags & designs.

About the Maker
Olivia Bertus (Maastricht, 1979) studied textiles at the Academy of Visual Arts in Maastricht. She then started working for herself. She applied her love for color and design in her products from the start. In addition to designing and making designs and textile products for her own label, Olivia also works on commission for private individuals and companies.

Production Process
The designs (prints) that Olivia designs start with a drawing in her notebook. She works this out so that she can have it printed on fabric and wallpaper. “I order what I need so that I never have too much stock – also because there is no room for it.” She uses the fabrics in her bags, cushions and pouffes. “All of which I make myself. You can also put together my bags yourself.” Olivia mainly makes what is ordered. The wallpaper is also only printed to the customer’s order.

Sustainability
Olivia designs products that last a long time. If necessary, its products can be repaired – or in the case of pouffes, given new upholstery (i.e. a second life). She has her fabrics, wallpaper and postcards printed in the Netherlands. “And I deliberately don’t scale up to keep my footprint minimal.”
