Our Story

Art You Carry. Stories That Connect Us.

“Love is a power force, and Light is the energy that connects us all.”

— Sandy Mannings, Founder & Artist

At SanDesigned It, I believe art is more than something we admire. It is something we experience, carry, and make part of our lives.

Founded in 2017, SanDesigned It is a wearable art brand based in Stone Mountain, Georgia, in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Through original designs inspired by photography, history, nature, and cultural storytelling, I transform everyday tote bags into expressions of creativity, individuality, and human connection.

Every design begins with inspiration. Sometimes it comes from a historical photograph, an overlooked story, the beauty of nature, or a moment that deserves to be remembered. My work brings elements of the past and present together, inviting people to discover meaning through art.

I am especially drawn to stories of resilience, courage, creativity, and the people whose lives and contributions deserve recognition.

My intention is not to tell you what a design should mean to you, but to create something that invites you to make your own connection.

Wearable Art for Everyday Life

SanDesigned It tote bags bring together expressive artwork and everyday function.

Our 18 × 18-inch totes are made from lightweight polyester and feature vibrant, fade-resistant designs printed with water-based pigment inks.

Whether carried to work, while traveling, shopping, or simply enjoying the day, each bag offers a way to bring art into your personal style.

A SanDesigned It tote is more than a place to carry your belongings. It is also an opportunity to carry an image, a story, or a message that speaks to you.

The Meaning of Love Light

Every SanDesigned It tote carries the words Love Light beneath its design.

These words reflect my belief that love is a powerful force and that light represents the energy connecting us all.

Our experiences, cultures, beliefs, and identities may be different, but art can create moments of understanding and appreciation across those differences.

Love Light is an invitation to recognize our shared humanity while honoring what makes each person unique.

My Mission

My mission is to connect the past with the present through original wearable art that encourages reflection, celebrates individuality, and inspires meaningful connections.

I hope each design brings something positive into the life of the person carrying it, whether that is confidence, curiosity, joy, inspiration, or a deeper appreciation of the story behind the artwork.

Carry art. Express yourself. Share Love Light.

Love Light,
