Ocean Pack

Starting to look into relevant content, these bags are a useful way to protect your belongings while you're around water. They may not necessarily be well constructed or be made from luxurious materials but they certainly serve a purpose. The aesthetic of the bag isn't taken into consideration because the main purpose is to be waterproof.

 However, it can be manufactured to a higher quality which makes the accessory seem more expensive and better finished. Sometimes it can be easy to disguise a product and make it look expensive but in other examples it can highlight that a product has been made cheaper which in these 2 products you can clearly see the difference between the two.

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.

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
