Dana Cooper is a fiber artist and designer, living outside the city of Chicago, who creates and sculpts exquisite fabrics into chic evening bags. After graduating from Ohio University with a Bachelors of Science in Education, Dana spent the next six years studying patternmaking, fashion design, and the art of manipulating fabric. Dana’s creative energies led her to an internship with Lara Miller, a Chicago based clothing designer. It was then, while studying with Lara, that Dana decided she wanted to launch her own line. She immediately enrolled in business courses, started volunteering at Gen Art organization, and attended fashion business seminars. Soon enough the idea for KeepBags grew into a gorgeous collection of not only evening bags, but bridal as well.
Whether Dana’s artistic hands are manipulating fabric into evening bags in her studio or finger painting with her two young children at the kitchen table, creating art is her passion.
