We were drawn to the evocative watercolor technique of a local Maine artist and their striking interpretation of the 'cotton candy' lobster‚ so rare only 1 in 100 million are caught. The tones and details are exquisite. Lobsters are a beloved symbol of Maine and we share a working wharf with lobstermen in Portland so this marine neighbor is close to our hearts. The original artwork is carefully printed on recycled sail cloth and then handcrafted into a durable handbag, finished with hand-spliced New England Rope handles and a clasp.
