Info:
A series of tote bags developed as a color and form study, inspired by a Raf Simons x Adidas footwear collaboration. The project explored how color blocking and material contrast could translate from footwear into functional accessories.
Each bag was designed with a focus on utility, featuring multiple internal and external pockets. Constructed from 13 oz cotton canvas, the totes were developed through hands-on pattern making and sewn by me, with an emphasis on structure, durability, and everyday use.
