👜 TimberTote Wooden Purses at Tucson Gallery

A TimberTote looks like it shouldn’t exist—then you pick it up, and suddenly a wooden purse feels like the most natural thing in the world.

Available in-store at Tucson Gallery in downtown Tucson. Call 520-606-5440 to check current stock.

Each TimberTote starts as birch wood that’s carefully cut with a pattern of tiny relief lines called a “living hinge,” allowing the wood to bend and curve without breaking. The result is a graceful, arching wooden body paired with bold colors, custom-printed fabrics, and hardware that feels as special as the art it carries.

At Tucson Gallery, you’ll find a rotating collection of TimberTote purses and accessories, some featuring artwork by our own gallery artists, so you can literally wear a piece of Tucson art on your arm.

✨ So… What Exactly Is a TimberTote?

Close-up of TimberTote wooden purse showing living-hinge detail and hardware
Tiny relief cuts create a “living hinge,” letting each TimberTote curve and flex like fabric while staying strong like wood.

Think of TimberTote as a collaboration between:

  • a woodworker who figured out how to bend wood like fabric, and
  • a fashion designer who refuses to make boring bags.

From there, they pulled in even more creatives: tattoo artists engraving designs into the outside panels, muralists whose artwork is printed onto the interior fabrics, and now Tucson Gallery artists whose work shows up on the linings and graphics of select bags.

Each purse is:

  • Cut from premium birch plywood, stained in rich colors or natural finishes
  • Lined with 100% cotton fabric that’s adhered to the wood before cutting so the inside feels as intentional as the outside
  • Finished by hand with hardware, straps, and stitching that match the artwork and stain
  • Designed and made in Tucson by the TimberTote team and their artist collaborators

They’re real, functional handbags—but they’re also conversation-starting sculptures that happen to carry your keys.

👀 At A Glance

Details vary by design, but here’s what most TimberTote purses at Tucson Gallery have in common:

  • Material: Birchwood exterior with living-hinge relief cuts, cotton interior, quality hardware
  • Designs: Classic stains, Fantasy Collection pieces, U of A–inspired styles, and bags featuring Tucson Gallery artwork
  • Origin: Designed and handcrafted in Tucson, Arizona
  • Price range: Approximately $80–$160 depending on style and collectionLocal First Arizona
  • Wear: Adjustable straps or chains, finished interiors, fully functional everyday bags
  • Availability: Small-batch runs, so styles come and go—once a favorite design sells out, it may not return exactly the same

TimberTote purses are more than display pieces—you can actually wear them every day.

❤️ Why You’ll Love TimberTote Purses

TimberTotes get the same reaction over and over:
first a double take, then a smile, then, “Wait…this is wood??”

Here’s what makes them so fun to carry (and to gift):

  • They’re jaw-droppingly unexpected.
    A wooden purse already stands out. Add rich stains, engraved artwork, and illustrated linings, and it becomes an instant “Where did you get that?” piece.Local First Arizona
  • They’re genuinely usable.
    These aren’t fragile art objects you’re afraid to touch. The living hinge and reinforced construction make them comfortable to open, close, and carry.
  • The inside is part of the art.
    Look closely and you’ll find collaged storybook scenes, fantasy illustrations, university motifs, and original art prints turned into fabric.
  • They feel local in the best way.
    Born from a collaboration inside Proper Shops right here in downtown Tucson, TimberTotes are rooted in the same creative community that powers Tucson Gallery.
  • They tell people who you are.
    Bookish kid? There’s a bookshelves or book-page interior. Fairy-tale lover? Fantasy Collection. Diehard Wildcat? U of A block-A designs. Art collector? TimberTotes featuring work from Tucson Gallery artists.

🪵 Thoughtful Design & Quality Materials

One of the most exciting things about TimberTote is how often other artists are invited into the process. Some bags:

  • Feature engraved graphics created by tattoo artists like Jenny Burghard
  • Use interior fabrics printed with murals by local artists such as Ignacio
  • Showcase special prints and patterns inspired by (or directly featuring) Tucson Gallery artists, available only through our gallery

That means the TimberTote you pick up here might be a three-way collaboration: woodworker, fashion designer, and visual artist—all wrapped up into one wearable piece of art.

🎁 The Perfect Gift for…

  • Art fans & gallery regulars who want a piece of Tucson art they can carry every day
  • U of A alumni & Wildcats superfans who will happily rock a wooden purse with a block A and campus-inspired artTimberTote+1

🟡 Playable ART Ball at Tucson Gallery

A rainbow string of wooden balls that moonlights as a stress ball, sculpture, and tiny phone stand.

Available in-store at Tucson Gallery in downtown Tucson. Call 520-606-5440 to check current stock.

The Playable ART Ball is what happens when a classic stress ball grows up, discovers color, and moves into an art gallery. At Tucson Gallery, this strand of twenty rainbow wooden spheres is constantly being twisted into circles, waves, stands, and creatures dreamed up by little kids and big kids at heart. It’s part fidget toy, part modern sculpture, and part “I can’t believe this is my new favorite souvenir from Tucson.”

✨ So… what is the Playable ART Ball?

The Playable ART Ball is a strand of 20 wooden spheres joined together so you can twist, loop, stack, and squish them into all kinds of shapes. One minute it’s a neat circle. The next, it’s a wave. Then it’s suddenly holding your phone, propping up a note, or becoming some wild abstract creature invented by a 4-year-old.

We love it because it doesn’t tell you what it wants to be. It just quietly waits for little hands (or very bored grown-up hands) to pick it up and start experimenting.

Curve, stack, and twist the Playable ART Ball into graceful curves and abstract designs for your desk or coffee table.

👀 At A Glance

  • Ages: 3 to 99
  • What you get: 20 interconnected wooden balls in 10 bright colors
  • Ball size: 1.38″ diameter – easy for little hands to grab
  • Package size: 8 x 8 x 1.75 inches – nice and flat for packing in a suitcase
  • Materials:
  • FSC-certified beech wood (Italy)
  • Non-toxic, water-based color dyes (Germany)
  • Phthalate-free, durable POM plastic connectors (Taiwan)
  • Made in: Designed in Germany, manufactured in Taiwan
  • Safety: Conforms to CPSIA, EN-71 & ASTM F963 safety standards
  • Warning: Choking hazard – contains small parts, not for children under 3

It’s sturdy, bright, and built to survive years of twisting, fidgeting, and “Look what I made!” moments.

❤️ Why You’ll Love the Playable ART Ball

This is one of those objects people pick up “just to see what it feels like,” and suddenly it’s ten minutes later.

  • It’s a stress ball with an upgrade.
    Instead of squeezing a sad foam blob, you’re handling smooth, weighty wood with satisfying clicks and curves. Your nervous energy gets an art degree.
  • Little kids turn it into everything.
    Snake, bracelet, bridge, animal, nest, crown… give a 3-year-old the Playable ART Ball and you’ll find out what it really wants to be.
  • Grown-ups turn it into a desk buddy.
    On a workday, it becomes a phone stand, a pen rest, or a little splash of color curled around your keyboard.
  • It invites mini design experiments.
    Curve it, stack it, spiral it, make it hug the corner of a book. Every shape is a tiny design challenge you solved with your hands.
  • Zero batteries, zero instructions.
    It doesn’t light up, beep, or talk. It just quietly encourages imaginative play—and that’s kind of refreshing.

🪵 Thoughtful Design & Quality Materials

The Playable ART Ball is made to feel good in your hands and look good on your desk.

  • FSC-certified beech wood gives each ball a sturdy, smooth feel.
  • Big, rounded spheres are easy for younger kids to grasp and safe for supervised play (ages 3+).
  • Non-toxic, water-based dyes make the colors pop without harsh chemicals.
  • Durable connectors are engineered to twist again and again without giving up.

This is the sort of thing you’ll still have around in a few years, not something that gets lost in the bottom of a toy bin the same week you buy it.

Watch the Playable ART Cube in action and see how it transforms from a tiny cube into endless shapes.

🎲 How to Play

There isn’t one “correct” way to use the Playable ART Ball, which is the whole point. But here are a few ideas to get started:

  1. The Classic Circle
    Bend the strand into a perfect ring. It sounds simple, but getting the curve just right is strangely satisfying.
  2. The Wave
    Make a fluid zig-zag and see how tall or long you can make your wave before it tips over.
  3. The Stand
    Wrap and tuck the balls until they hold a pen, your phone, or a small note with a reminder like “Call Tucson Gallery.”
  4. The Creature
    Ask a kid to make an animal. You’ll probably get a dragon, dinosaur, or “octopus but with too many legs,” and it’ll be awesome.
  5. The Mash-Up
    Combine it with another Playable ART Ball, the Playable ART Cube, or other connector pieces to create strangely wonderful mega-sculptures.

And when you’re done? Just scrunch it back into a compact shape and plop it back on the shelf—ready for the next idea.

🎁 The Perfect Gift for…

Think of the Playable ART Ball as a “one-size-fits-many” kind of present:

  • Little kids (3+) who love anything colorful and touchable.
  • Parents & grandparents who want toys that encourage open-ended play instead of more screen time.
  • Tucson visitors looking for a souvenir that’s small in size but big in creativity.
  • Teachers & therapists who use tactile tools to help kids focus or self-regulate.
  • Office humans who live on Zoom and need something better than clicking a pen.
  • Design lovers who appreciate objects that are both playful and aesthetically pleasing.
  • The person who already has fidget toys and doesn’t need another plastic spinner.

Wrap it, gift it, or “accidentally” keep it for yourself. We won’t tell.

🏜️ Why We Love It at Tucson Gallery

Playable ART Ball colorful wooden stress ball twisted into a sculptural shape
The Playable ART Ball twists and turns into endless sculptural shapes, making it a fun, creative souvenir for little kids and big kids at heart.

We’re a fine art gallery that also has a soft spot for things you can’t stop touching—and the Playable ART Ball hits that sweet spot perfectly.

It’s bright and sculptural enough to look at home next to contemporary art, but it begs to be picked up and rearranged. We’ve watched kids, teens, and full-grown adults lean over a shelf “just to try it,” and then build three or four shapes before they even realize they’re hooked.

It also pairs beautifully with our other playable pieces, like the Playable ART Cube. One is all about crisp angles and cubes; this one is all curves and circles. Together, they turn a coffee table into a tiny, ever-changing gallery.

✨ So… what is the Playable ART Cube?

The Playable ART Cube is made from 12 brightly colored wooden blocks connected by a hidden elastic cord. You can bend and rotate the blocks into endless designs, then try to fold it back into a perfect cube (there’s only one solution!). It’s the kind of hands-on, creative souvenir that keeps kids, teens, and grown-ups busy long after your Tucson trip is over.

  • Instant creativity break – Take a few seconds between emails or homework and turn your cube into a brand-new mini sculpture.
  • Screen-free focus – It gives your hands something to do while your brain thinks, relaxes, or daydreams.
  • Conversation starter – Put it on your desk or coffee table and watch everyone reach for it with, “Wait, what is this thing?”
  • Art you can actually touch – Instead of staring at art on a wall, you’re literally shaping it in your hands.

🎲 How to Play

You don’t need instructions—but here’s a quick guide anyway:

  1. Start with the perfect cube.
    Hold the 2.5″ wooden cube in your hand and feel how solid it is.
  2. Gently twist and unfold.
    Rotate and bend the blocks along the cord to “explode” the cube into a long, flexible chain.
  3. Experiment with shapes.
    Loop it, stack it, twist it into arches, towers, bridges, and abstract sculptures. There’s no wrong way to build.
  4. Try to get back to cube form.
    The real puzzle? There’s only one way to fold everything back into a flawless cube. Can you find it?
  5. Repeat… endlessly.
    When you get bored of one design, bend it into another. It’s the most creative little loop you’ll ever be stuck in.

🎁 The Perfect Gift for…

  • Kids 6+ who love building, tinkering, and fidgeting with their hands.
  • Parents & grandparents looking for a creative, screen-free gift.
  • Tucson visitors who want a unique, packable souvenir that isn’t just another t-shirt.
  • Designers, architects, and creatives who want a playful desk sculpture to spark ideas.
  • Teachers, therapists, and counselors looking for a simple, tactile focus tool.
  • Office gift exchanges & stocking stuffers when you need something fun that works for almost anyone.
  • The person who has everything but definitely doesn’t have this.

🏜️ Why We Love It at Tucson Gallery

Playable ART Cube shown mid-transformation between cube and open shape
The Playable ART Cube bends and folds through countless shapes before snapping back into a single perfect cube.

At Tucson Gallery, we’re all about art you can live with, not just look at once and walk away from. The Playable ART Cube fits right into that philosophy. It’s colorful, modern, and interactive, blurring the line between toy and sculpture.

We also love how it invites people to think like artists and designers. Every time you twist it into a new configuration, you’re making a tiny, temporary piece of architecture. Kids get hooked on it, but honestly, adults might love it even more.

It’s one of our favorite recommendations when someone says, “I want a Tucson souvenir that’s small, creative, and not the same thing everyone else buys.”

CMY Cubes

Get CMY Cubes at the Tucson Gallery. The perfect gift for any occasion!

Gifts & Souvenirs 

🔷 CMY Cubes at The Tucson Gallery

Right when you think you’ve seen every kind of “cool little desk toy” out there, CMY Cubes show up and completely steal the show. These colorful, transparent shapes use primary colors to bend light, mix hues, and turn a simple turn-in-your-hand into a tiny science experiment.

They’re playful, beautiful, and ridiculously hard to put down—perfect gifts for kids, adults, fidgeters, creatives, and anyone who loves color. They also make fun, packable souvenirs to remember your time in Tucson.

🌈 What are CMY Cubes?

CMY Cubes are interactive, translucent cubes made using the primary colors Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow (CMY). Each face is a different filter, and as you rotate the cube:

  • Colors overlap and blend into new shades
  • Light breaks into vibrant, shifting gradients
  • You literally view life and light through a different lens

Set one in the sun or under a lamp and you’ll see the room light up with colorful reflections and shadows. It feels part science experiment, part art piece, part mesmerizing fidget toy—and an unforgettable souvenir from your visit to The Tucson Gallery.

Warning: CMY Cubes are addictive. One “let me see that for a second” turns into ten minutes of turning it over and saying, “Okay… that’s actually really cool.” That’s what makes them such fun gifts.

😍 Why people get hooked on CMY Cubes as gifts and souvenirs

CMY Cubes are:

  • Hands-on and interactive – not just something you look at, but something you play with
  • Perfect for curious minds – great for teaching kids about color mixing and light
  • Desk- and shelf-friendly – they look like modern art when they’re just sitting there
  • Stress-relieving – turning them slowly in your hand is oddly calming
  • Easy to pack – ideal souvenirs to take home from Tucson or share with friends and family

They’re the kind of object that makes people ask, “Where did you get that?”—which is exactly what you want from a great gift or souvenir.

🔥 Meet the Ignis CMY Tetrahedron

If you love the cube, you’ll geek out over its geometric cousin: the Ignis CMY Tetrahedron.

This beautiful shape is a polyhedron with four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four corners. It’s the simplest of all the ordinary convex polyhedra and one of the five classic Platonic solids—math, science, and art all rolled into one collectible souvenir.

With the same Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow magic:

  • Each triangular face filters light differently
  • Rotating it reveals totally different color blends than the cube
  • It looks like a tiny sculpture of light, color, and geometry

The tetrahedron is perfect for:

  • Science and math lovers who appreciate clever gifts
  • Modern, minimalist décor with a story behind it
  • Anyone who loves Platonic solids, design, or just really cool objects that double as souvenirs

🧩 Aeternus Aenigma: The Color-Changing CMY Puzzle

CMY Cubes doesn’t stop at cubes and tetrahedrons—meet the Aeternus Aenigma, a mind-bending, color-changing puzzle that takes things to a whole new level.

This NEW CMY puzzle is unlike any rainbow puzzle you’ve seen before. Instead of having just one fixed color state, the Aeternus Aenigma has four distinct color states that shift and transform depending on your viewing angle. Tilt it, turn it, and suddenly you’re looking at a completely different palette.

It’s part art piece, part brain teaser, and completely mesmerizing—perfect for:

  • Curious kids and adults who love a challenge
  • STEM and art lovers who appreciate clever design
  • Unique gifts and unforgettable Tucson souvenirs

You really have to see it in person to appreciate how dramatically the colors change. Come into The Tucson Gallery, pick it up, twist it around, and watch the Aeternus Aenigma reveal all four of its color personalities—then grab one as the perfect holiday gift or take-home souvenir from downtown Tucson.

Visit The Tucson Gallery for the perfect holiday gifts and Tucson souvenirs

Photos are fun, but CMY Cubes and the Ignis CMY Tetrahedron are so much better in person. You really have to hold them up to the light, tilt them, and see the colors shift to appreciate how special they are.

Swing by The Tucson Gallery to:

  • Shop local and support a downtown Tucson art gallery while you’re at it
  • Try different CMY pieces in person
  • See how they look under gallery lighting
  • Pick the perfect CMY Cube or tetrahedron as a holiday gift, stocking stuffer, or memorable Tucson souvenir

🌍 MOVA Globes at The Tucson Gallery

Mesmerizing, self-spinning globes that make seriously cool gifts

Step into The Tucson Gallery and you’ll see them right away. Beautiful globes quietly spinning on their stands with no cords, no batteries, and no obvious “how is that even happening?” explanation. Those are MOVA® Globes, and yes, they’re just as magical as they look.

Whether you’re shopping for a science lover, a space nerd, a world traveler, or that one person who “has everything,” a MOVA Globe makes an unforgettable holiday gift.

✨ So… what is a MOVA Globe?

A MOVA Globe is a self-rotating globe that runs on ambient light and the Earth’s magnetic field. Inside a clear outer shell is an inner globe that floats in a special liquid and slowly turns all on its own. Hidden solar cells inside the globe capture light, and tiny magnets interact with the Earth’s magnetic field to create that smooth, constant spin—no cords, no batteries, no noise.

Many of the designs use real satellite and NASA imagery for their space and planetary globes, so you’re not just looking at pretty art—you’re looking at accurate, high-resolution views of things like the Moon, the Earth, or even the Sun.

Set one on a desk, bookshelf, entry table, or home office and it becomes an instant “wait… what is that?” conversation piece.

❤️ Why people love MOVA Globes

Here’s what makes these such great gifts:

  • They never need charging. MOVA Globes are powered by everyday indoor light—LED, fluorescent, indirect sunlight—so they quietly spin whenever there’s enough light in the room.
  • They’re made for indoors. They actually work best in ambient, indoor light and don’t need to live in a window or outside (in fact, avoiding harsh direct sun helps preserve the artwork).
  • They’re whisper-quiet. No humming motor, no ticking mechanism—just a slow, calming rotation that’s oddly soothing to watch.
  • Tons of styles. From classic world maps to constellations and planets, there’s a globe that matches just about anyone’s personality or décor.
  • They’re built to last. With a durable acrylic outer shell and a sealed, low-maintenance design, MOVA Globes are made to be enjoyed for years with just the occasional gentle wipe-down.

In other words: it’s part art, part science, part magic trick—and 100% gift-worthy.

🎁 The perfect holiday gift (that you really need to see in person)

Online photos are great, but MOVA Globes are one of those things you truly have to see in motion to appreciate. In the gallery, you can:

  • Watch different designs spin side-by-side
  • Compare sizes and bases to find the right look for a desk, mantel, or display shelf
  • Get ideas for pairing a MOVA Globe with other local artwork or décor pieces as a themed gift

Our team is happy to help you pick the perfect globe for:

  • “I’m totally keeping this for myself” moments
  • Holiday gifting (they’re a huge hit for Christmas, Hanukkah, and office gift exchanges)
  • Client appreciation or closing gifts
  • Graduation, retirement, and milestone birthdays

Brian’s Vibe

I dance with Positive Vibes Only so people feel free to move, smile, and have fun.” — Brian Dahl

Brian started dancing as a kid and never stopped. In Tucson, he became Theguywhodancesoncongress, the hype man you’ll spot on stage or in the crowd, lifting the room with a grin and a groove. His mission is simple: get people to relax, dance freely, and have fun.

His brand lives by three mantras: #PositiveVibesOnly, #PowerOfPositivity, and It’s OK Not To Be OK / It’s OK To Be OK — Love. They’re reminders that joy and honesty can share the same space. We can celebrate wins, sit with hard feelings, and still choose kindness.

Brian is also nine-plus years sober, a reader of mountains of self-improvement books, and a collaborator with local makers. The merch and souvenirs you’ll find here carries that spirit of optimism, inclusiveness, and proudly Tucson.

Tucson Gallery’s one-of-a-kind souvenir vase celebrates beauty in the everyday

At the Tucson Gallery, we believe art should be lived with—not just looked at. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest offering: the Ikebana Vase Souvenir. Inspired by the traditional Japanese art of ikebana—where simplicity, grace, and nature meet—these handmade ceramic vases invite you to create something beautiful from the most unexpected places.

Whether you’re new to ikebana or already in love with floral design, these vases offer a timeless way to bring beauty and intention into your everyday life. And the best part? You don’t need a professional bouquet—just one bloom, a little creativity, and maybe a few clippings from your backyard.

The Spirit of Ikebana: Less is More

Finding beauty in a single flower, a fallen branch, or a garden weed

Ikebana isn’t about big, showy displays. It’s about the quiet power of one flower. One thoughtful placement. One moment of stillness. Sandy, one of the friendly faces you’ll meet at the Tucson Gallery, brings this spirit to life daily. She forages twigs, wildflowers—even weeds—from around her home and turns them into elegant, meditative arrangements that stop you in your tracks.

Each of our ikebana vases is designed to support this practice. Wide, low openings and sleek finishes give your flower room to shine while letting the vase quietly complement its form. Whether you’re using a rose, a rosemary sprig, or a desert branch, it becomes a work of art.

A Flower That Lasted Six Weeks

Real stories, real joy, and the creativity that keeps blooming

Tony Ray, our co-founder, tried it himself—he placed a pink-and-purple mum from a Christmas bouquet into one of our ikebana vases. It was already a few weeks old, but once nestled into its new home, it flourished. That flower lived for six more weeks, a vibrant reminder of how long beauty can last when it’s given the right space.

That story isn’t unique. Guests take our vases home and make magic. A client from Minnesota sent a photo of their arrangement after a visit to Tucson. Tony tells every customer, “Show me what you did!”—and they do, with joy, creativity, and pride. Some send fresh wildflowers. Others experiment with feathers, leaves, or herbs. And we love seeing them all.

Take a Piece of Tucson with You

Create your own celebration—one flower at a time

Our ikebana vases are available exclusively at the Tucson Gallery, located in the heart of downtown Tucson. They’re the perfect souvenir—personal, practical, and packed with meaning. Whether it’s for your windowsill, your workspace, or a thoughtful gift, this vase encourages you to slow down and notice the beauty around you.

When you bring one home, we’d love to see what you create. Tag us, email us, or stop in with a photo—and we might just showcase your design on this very page.

✨ Visit us in person to pick out your vase and start your own ikebana journey.
