A small bag that doesn’t go unnoticed, with its bright, playful colors in a compact format.
Its story
👀 I love the “mystery sewing” challenges by Shamballa Bags, where I only receive the pattern pieces bit by bit.
It requires a lot of imagination and abstraction to choose the materials blindly—without knowing where they’ll end up, the proportions, etc.—and constraints often turn out to be an excellent source of creativity.
🍒 For this one, I wanted something fun and lighthearted, so I chose to upcycle small scraps of neon pink crepe, two-tone cherry blossom patterned neoprene, and apple green leather…
☺️ Purely for visual and tactile pleasure, with no other reason than to make you smile… mission accomplished?
