About speakeasy works
 

Speakeasy Works is the creation of Michelle Perkins, a textile artist, photographer, graphic designer, and lover of all things nerdy, bookish, and politically progressive. Her functional designs reflect a desire to experience art in daily life, with handmade creations that don’t just hang on a wall but infuse even mundane activities with emboldening colors, patterns, and textures. Her products are sewn using some or all repurposed materials, making each one either extremely small batch or wholly unique, like the people who use them. She lives in Buffalo, NY, where all her products are designed and created. She is proud to spend her days working (and sometimes teaching) at Stitch Buffalo.
