PERSONAL PROJECT 2022
Looks like leather, only vegetable - cactus. The environment is becoming more and more polluted by the huge fashion and meat industries. The chemical processes involved in the production of animal leather also pollute the environment.
What can be done about it?
​
Create alternatives and solutions. For example made of vegan, plant-based leather. I wanted to try that. Processing, haptics, resilience and durability are the characteristics to be criticized. But the first priority was of course the simple aesthetic design, in order to have an elegant everyday friend at your side. Small enough to pack in a backpack and large enough to be carried alone. With all the important things a woman needs.
Soft black and cream vegan cactus leather paired with black and black striped zebra woven lining. Contrasting geometric color division, wrist straps, sturdy zipper and a lot of love is in this bag.
