About the Artist
Celebrating the craft, story, and spirit behind WoolBorne’s one-of-a-kind creations.
Karen Borga
Karen Borga is a fiber artist dedicated to transforming raw wool into timeless, functional works of art. With a deep respect for slow fashion and sustainable materials, she handcrafts each WoolBorne piece using traditional felting techniques, blending texture, design, and durability.
Her work reflects a lifetime of creative exploration, from early needlework lessons with her grandmother to award-winning fiber art recognized by juried shows. Every handbag carries her signature attention to detail, honoring the natural beauty of the fleece and the artistry of the process.
Through WoolBorne, Karen invites others to experience the elegance and authenticity of wearable fiber art — pieces made to be treasured for years to come.
“Owning a WoolBorne bag feels like carrying a piece of nature and art at the same time. Every time I use it, someone stops me to ask about it.”
“Karen’s bags are works of art—there’s a soul and presence to each one. They’re not just accessories, they’re heirlooms.”
“Knowing my bag was created from locally sourced fleece and crafted by hand makes it even more special. I can wear something beautiful and feel good about it, too.”
