Art Supply Bag Australia
Art Supply Bag for Painters, Illustrators & Visual Artists
Designed in Byron Bay for painters, illustrators, sculptors and makers of every kind. The Artist Bag has 27 pockets, nine deep vertical interior pockets where you can see everything from above, and 18 exterior ones for the tools you reach for most.
Three Key Features
Multipockets
18 exterior, 9 interior. More organisation than any other art supply bag on the market.
Internal Compartments
Fits an iPad and laptops up to 15", making it easy to carry your creative tools and digital workspace together.
Pairs with the Tool Rack
The wooden Tool Rack slots perfectly into the central compartment, keeping brushes, pencils and tools sorted by size and instantly accessible.
Brushes bent, paint lids missing, tools lost at the bottom.
Every artist knows the frustration of unpacking an entire bag to find one brush, or arriving at a class with bent bristles and missing lids. The Artist Bag was designed to solve exactly this, every tool has a place, everything is visible, and you’re ready to create the moment you arrive.
From the studio to anywhere your practice takes you.
Whether you’re painting en plein air, teaching a class, heading to a life drawing session, or setting up at a market, the same organisation travels with you. Pack it once and your creative kit is always ready to go.
The perfect studio companion.
The wooden Tool Rack was designed to sit perfectly inside the central compartment of The Artist Bag. Keep your brushes, pens, pencils, linocut tools or makeup brushes standing upright and sorted by size, at home, in class, or at a workshop. Lift the whole rack out as one unit and set it straight on your work surface. Ready to create in seconds.
Works beautifully for painters, illustrators, printmakers, calligraphers, art teachers and makeup artists.

The Artist Bag started as a solution to my own problem, transporting creative tools between studios without chaos or damage.
The breakthrough was the internal compartments, vertical storage that lets you see everything from above without unpacking.
