Rose Pearlman Bags
Based in Brooklyn, Rose Pearlman creates natural raffia and cotton bags using the punch-needle technique. She began rug hooking to stay creative when she was looking after her young son, finding it an expressive medium and enjoying how the method can be used to create functional objects and be easily returned to throughout the day.
Based in Brooklyn, Rose Pearlman creates this bag from raffia using the punch-needle technique. She uses a hand-held wooden tool, enjoying the slow pace of the technique and the fact that each hand stitch or loop created needs to be intentional and carefully placed. With a simple square body made up of hundreds of flat stitches, juxtaposing the tactile long fringed fold-over flap, then finished with a tan leather strap. Due to being handmade, each varies slightly in colour and shape.
Raffia. Tan leather cross-body strap. Unlined.

“I’m drawn to anything that is rhythmic and soothing,” says textile and accessories designer Rose Pearlman. “With continuous repetition, I can see my pieces slowly start to take form.” As rug hooking can be easily returned to throughout the day, Rose started using the technique when looking after her young son; finding it an expressive medium, she began to make functional objects for the home. Now, she uses the punch-needle technique to create not only rugs, but cushions, wall artworks and bags. For TOAST, she has created two bags: one from recycled cotton and the other from raffia, each with an incredibly tactile nature.
