Wow, Bang, Pow or would you prefer Ciao? What sounds like a wild comic scene are the casual pop art statements on Bettina Keller’s good-mood bags. The Munich-based sews these for her label BETTIBAG from colorful vintage fabrics.

Shopper, clutch, foldover or beachbag – there is no bag shape that Bettina Keller does not have in her repertoire. But every model at the Munich bag label is unique. Even if one (not to be overlooked) detail has one thing in common: the claims with which the Munich artist decorates her colorful vintage bags with BETTIBAG.
Her signature look? The combination of vintage fabrics and statements.
As it is so often the case, it is also due to chance that Bettina Keller now runs her own label. She never had the plan to make bags. But she was looking for a fancy shopper and couldn’t find it. Instead, she found a beautiful vintage fabric at a flea market, from which she quickly sewed a corresponding bag.
Sustainable consumption with a lot of wow factor.
What began by chance has developed into a real passion: combining textiles from different decades with modern materials. When Bettina Keller sits down at the sewing machine, she lets the needle rattle over and over again over different fabrics in different colors and textures. The Munich resident finds creating something new exciting. Because her bags tell stories that she shares with others.
100% handmade in Bavaria – from the first to the last step in Munich
Vintage fabrics, unusual second-hand clothing, textiles from overproduction or leftovers from tailoring and interior decorators – Bettina Keller use what is not (no longer) used elsewhere. Because even small quantities are sufficient for her iconic applications. And why should you use new resources when you can (supposedly!) turn worthless things into new favorites like the glitter tinsel crossbody bag?
Many of the fabrics were saved from the trash compactor. I am always very happy to give old beautiful materials a second life. Bettina Keller
