Hunter

While I was looking into bags I came across these bags designed by Hunter. The shape isn't something I'd want to experiment with but the material used and finishings of the bag is that what I want to achieve. I've been using a leather like material which gives good shape and structure without using a product that has come from an animal, which with my vegan lifestyle I try to find alternatives that aren't products of animals. As well as the overall aesthetic of the bag I also liked the fastening which is like that of the Mackintosh/Alyx collection, the heavy weight side release buckle is something I want to carry through in both projects. 


I like how utility wear can be made more contemporary, It's these small details that I want to include in my accessory. The next step for me is to start experimenting with these buckles to see how I can attach it to the bag and also look into which fabric I can use for my bag. I need to figure out size and shape for my bag which will all start coming together in the next few weeks.

Multi Use

I wanted to add another element to the bag so thinking about how I can do this was quite challenging. Some of the ideas I had that could make for a successful addiction are making it so it can roll up or adding pockets. I want to sample with both and see which one adds more functionality, I think by making it a belt as well will add this element to the bag. My next step for this project is to draw some sketches up and find a design that will represent my theme of function over aesthetic.   When the pocked it down and can be used:  The pocket rolled up so it can be used as a belt:  Bag harness is another way to make it multifunctional:

Save the Duck

Whilst looking into brands that have a specific ethos I came across this one called 'Save the Duck'. I personally like that they are cruelty free and vegan which is something I'd want to incorporate into my designs and practice as I live a vegan lifestyle. It's refreshing to know that there are brands out there that are creating contemporary garments that aren't made using animal and compromising the aesthetic or function of the jacket. Most of the jackets they sell are waterproof or have certain qualities that make them suitable for outdoor weather, the look of the garment is  still considered but it is obvious that the function and ensuring the garment is sustainable/recycled were possible is the main focus.  Here's the link to have a look at other styles and colours they do.  https://www.savetheduck.it/ce_en/men/fall-winter/focus-on/recycled.html
