In case, you live on another planet and don’t know it, it is the dream of every fashionista to own a Hermes bag. Even if you have the means and the moolah to buy one, there is no guarantee that you will be able to take home, given the fact that supply is limited and the demand is high. Mind you, even the prices are not to be sneezed at as the basic models begin at £ 6,700 and can go anywhere up to £100,000 for the real deal!

Hermes-toting celebrities the world over love to flaunt their bags ( just check out social media pics of Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian, JLo, Rita Ora, Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey – all have an Hermes on their pretty sleeves). However the problem comes when at some point and across social media posts and re-posts, all Hermes bags start looking similar. The true diva knows that to look a cut above the rest, her wardrobe has to be as unique, as one-of-a-kind as she is. This is where ARTBURO works its magic.

ARTBURO, the custom luxury powerhouse

ARTBURO is based in Kiev, Ukraine, with Bag Collection Offices at Milan (Italy), Toronto (Canada) and New York (USA). The company is a brainchild of Alisa Kovtunova, a creative powerhouse, who understands why flawless personalization matters to luxury-loving clients, and knows how to deliver it with excellence. Under her guidance, ARTBURO’s creative team gives designer handbags nothing short of a metamorphosis to turn them into very unique art pieces for special clients.

How ARTBURO works

ARTBURO has an all- professional team of exceptionally skilled designers and painters. High on creativity and ably helmed by Alisa Kovtunova, the team develops eye catching designs and images that are hand painted onto the bags using the best quality Italian paints and high-end techniques for longevity and durability. 

As many clients are unsure about what to give a permanent place on their precious bag, ARTBURO offers options and advice on designs and motifs. The client asking for customization can ask for a custom art, or if they like, they can even ask for a famous painting to be recreated on to their bag. Believe it or not, ARTBURO has recreated famous works of master artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Edward Poynter, Claude Monet, Rene Magritte, Bernardo Bellotto, Piet Mondrian, Damien Hirst and more on to Hermes bags for privileges clients who want their bags to be as unique and rare as they themselves are. Believe it or not, they have also painted Disney characters and New York cabs on bags!

Is the custom bag art long-lasting

Yes, of course. As the best Italian paints are used by master painters, not only does the art work come alive in all glory under their exquisite brushstrokes, it is as durable, water resistant and long lasting as the bag itself.

How you can place your order

Just log into ARTBURO’s site (the blog you are reading right now is linked to the same site) and fill in your bag details and your contact information at the contact page. An ARTBURO manager will revert and get a complete idea of your requirements. If you are not sure about what to put on the bag, the designers will work with you to suggest options and create a custom image. Once you are satisfied with the art work and give your nod to the model, sit back and relax. Depending on how complex your chosen art work is, it can take anywhere between three weeks to six months for your bag to be personalized. After all, just as Rome wasn’t built in a day, avant-garde customization too takes time. Anyways, you must have heard the granny idiom that the fruit of patience is sweet. Believe me, once your reworked bag reaches you wrapped in an exclusive packaging, you will go wide eyed with wonder at the transformation.

How much does the custom bag art cost?

ARTBURO fees begin at $5000 and can go higher depending on the complexity of the artwork chosen by you. After all, it is customization of an Hermes bag we are talking about, folks! Just think, while there are thousands and thousands of Birkins, Kellys and Herbags in the wardrobes of the rich and the famous, no one else in the world will have a bag like the one you are ordering for the simple reason that ARTBURO never ever repeats its designs.

In case, you are donning your number crunching hat, let me remind you that while Hermes bags have tremendous resale value (check the many auction sites with Birkins, Kellys or Herbags under their hammers), an Hermes Birkin or Kelly or Herbag with custom art on it is an investment that will actually appreciate with time.

So if you have a Birkin you have worn to death, or a Kelly that no longer holds as much appeal as it used to, or a Herbag that you want to be more you and less what every celebrity is carrying, come to ARTBURO. And give your bag a designer and artistic makeover that’s amazingly beautiful and absolutely, assuredly the only one of its kind.
