"Creative art that evokes beauty, and happiness, should not be confined to the privacy of a home or in museums alone, but should be available for the world to see and enjoy on a daily basis." Anaia
Patricia "Anaia" Price’s creative bag designs stem from her multi-faceted background, which include theatre, dance and fine arts. Anaia began designing handbags that were colorful, dramatic, and theatrically inspired. Some of her handbags have included her personal touch in the form of hand-painted flowers that are signed works of art, delicate crystal trims, and floral appliqués. Her love for fine arts, in particular, acrylic and oil paintings on canvas, has expanded to wearable art, which she has used on scarves, jackets and wedding gowns. Anaia’s desire to create bags that women of discerning taste would love to own for their own collection of things beautiful has always been her goal. She envisions each bag as a piece of wearable fine art. Her flair for the dramatic outcome in everything she does has been evident in her life through the performing arts, where Flamenco has been her passion for over 15 years. She decided to bring to her line of fashionable bags the vibrancy of this passion as well as her creative eye for what attracts one to color and originality. Anaia selects fine fabrics and leather, alone or combined to achieve the ultimate look of an ANAIA DESIGN. An avid shopper for styles that are unique and unusual, Anaia designs for women who, like her, want that look of originality and flair. Her style is definitely characteristic of the  persona. Happy, dramatic, exciting and never boring. As she continues to evolve with her designs, she continues to focus on creating bags that will hang in a museum as a statement of "art for the world at large". Anaia names many of her bag designs with a name of a particular flamenco dance, dancer or flamenco origin, in tribute to her Spanish heritage. These bags are hand made in Spain by quality craftsmen. She has recently introduced her Pacific Collection, a line of luxury straw handbags that make use of natural Philippine fibers, such as straw derived from the banana tree leaf, or the bark of the pineapple tree. Elegantly accentuated with mother of pearl, black lip shell, and other various shell components, each bag makes a statement of classic sophistication that is timeless. Whether it be a hand-embroidered evening purse, or leather detailed day purse, these luxurious straw bags with that unique Anaia touch, are definitely conversation pieces. This line of designer bags carry the names of family and friends who are near and dear to her heart. |
