We transform our own original artwork into unique bags.
We believe that artfully painted canvas is far too beautiful to only hang on the wall and collect dust. That’s why we don’t stop at creating original paintings, but produce wearable art for you to touch, carry and show to your friends and customers.
Each canvas is uniquely painted by Maria and then sewn to stunning Passionarta bags by Barbara.
From white canvas to finished bag every step is done with special care and love by hand in Austria.

The women behind Passionarta
Are you curious how Passionarta started out and who the women behind this revolutionary project are? Then keep reading!
Barbara Klug
Barbara has the exciting task to bring the canvas alive and create beautiful, unique bags out of the colorful fabric. What’s needed for that? A sewing machine, a good amount of creativity and her highly developed sewing skills.
Maria Hubmann
Maria is the creative painter at Passionarta. She doesn’t believe in tight, grey boxes that people should fit in. She believes in joy, freedom and authentic expression and invites you to show your unique personality.
How it all began
In late summer 2020 Maria sat down with her old Singer sewing machine and made herself a new bag. When she put back the machine into the corner some leftover artist’s canvas caught her eye.
“I could also make bags out of painted canvas!”, crossed her mind and Passionarta was born.
She immediately sat down with an old piece of painted canvas to sew a proof of concept bag. A small pouch and a clutch later, Maria was ecstatic – her idea worked beautifully. However, her skills and patience behind the sewing machine was no match for her painting talent.
That’s when Barbara entered the scene. She uses her sewing skills and love for creating new designs to make high-quality unique bags.
Maria and Barbara make a perfect creative team.
Passionarta was born!
