Objective
In 2021 besides our usual commissions and projects we stumbled upon the idea to create a multifunctional bag. A totebag that can be turned into a larger ‘shopper’bag.

Being graphic designers and not product designers we teamed up with Utrecht based designer and illustrator Korinna van Balkom.

Approach
Besided the concept of an expanding bag we wanted the item to have a distinctive visual look and feel. The result is an origami inspired design that uses a folding technique to switch between the shopper and tote size.

Made from a waterproof nylon fabric with herring bone cotton handles. The bag was released in two colours, black/off-white and a light grey/off-white.
