TOTE BAG - AUNTIES NR 42

Inge Löök’s Merry Aunties, image number 42, printed on an orange tote bag.

Inge Löök drew the first four auntie images in 2003. Initially Valentine's cards, they unexpectedly became popular. Löök ponders why these toothless and unattractive old aunties were cherished, and explores their inner world rather than their external shell. “I prefer to stay with them in the small moments they share.”

Tote bag is 100% cotton, printed on both sides. Base is 6cm / 2.34" & measures 40x43cm / 15.6x16.77". Handles same material as bag. Water-based printing. Hot machine wash recommended, or 60°C; iron on cotton setting.

INGE LÖÖK - ABOUT THE ARTIST: 

It was in the mid-70s that Inge Löök started working both as a graphic artist and as a gardener. At the same time, she started illustrating books and other printed material as a freelancer for various employers. Today, she feels that her drawing requires the gardening tasks to balance her every day life. When it rains and it’s dark outside it feels fine to stay inside, but not when the sun shines and it’s warm. Everything in life is about balance. It’s a great joy and fortune to do what one really enjoys.
