Alice Saunders is a prominent figure in the world of artists and makers. A native of New Hampshire, this New England gal is the owner of Forestbound, where she designs and crafts beautiful leather and canvas totes out of vintage materials sourced at flea markets, estate sales, and military shows. Stepping through the door of her one-bedroom apartment in the Boston suburb of Jamaica Plain, Alice leans nonchalantly against the arched entry—her dog, Maisey, close by. Behind her, denim jackets hang above a line of well-worn leather boots. Not even five feet into her home, it is clear that this New England maker embodies an innate sense of style that extends to all aspects of her life, work, and decor.
