context_page_description: BiArtis is the first brand in the world that made unique luxury handbags made in leather with originally sewn oil on canvas. The name BiArtis comes from a Greek-Latin word that means "double art".
  This bags are designed to be inherited as a permanent value, as it is not just a utilitarian object and attractive fashion accessories but also a work of art.
  All artists working for BiArtis are acknowledged academic painters. Each bag is followed by a handmade painted silk scarf by the same author with fragments of painting which are sewn in to the purse.
  Prices for these bags range from €1000 to 2500. Costs escalate according to the motifs on a painting sewn onto it. Discounts are not given for as the painting gets older the bag gains more value as a peace of art.
context_section_description: The creator and inventor of BiArtis bags, Elizabeth Suzana Kozina, as every woman is crazy for shoes and bags. In the end of 2012, she wanted to put art work on something else than walls, so she thought: I can put painting on a bag.
  In the beginning of 2013, she draw her dream on paper and she ordered oil on canvas from a painter and went to a factory for them to sew it into a bag prototype.
  But, what they did was not good, so she wanted another one but it was not good either. So the factory said it could not be done. Oil can not be sewn on canvas on a bag, and she literally was kicked out of factory.  In the meantime, she found out about another factory, 5 minutes away from last one, she showed the ruined bag to an owner and asked: "Can you do better than this?" He replied: "Not only I can but I WILL", and that is how BiArtis bag was made.
  First publicly shown BiArtis bag, that satisfied the inventor's criteria, was introduced in May 2015.
