Luma

Luma is a backpack made using a patented 3D knitting process that reduces material waste and simplifies production. Unlike traditional cut and sew methods, this approach produces fully shaped components directly from digital patterns with minimal waste and labor. The backpack is constructed from single strands of 100% pre-consumer recycled nylon, helping to lower energy use, emissions, and material waste. Luma's design is informed by nature and aims to offer a balance of function and sustainability through a streamlined minimalistic form.

Onyx

The multifunctional design packed into a clear, simple shape is what makes the Onyx backpack unique and timeless. Onyx is expertly crafted from smooth leather and free from any additional heavy details. In the centre of the rectangular shell is a zipper that follows the whole length of the backpack. Two adjustable handles are strategically placed and can be turned so that the zipper faces the back of the person wearing it. This way entrance into the backpack becomes hidden and protected. The backpack becomes a safe and protected little cave.

Qwerty Elemental

Just like typewriters’ design evolution shows the transformation from a highly complex visual form to the clean-lined, simple geometric form, Qwerty-elemental is the embodiment of strength, symmetry, and simplicity. Constructive steel parts made by various craftsmen are distinctive visual feature of the product, which gives the bag an architectonic appearance. The essential peculiarity of the bag are two typewriter’s keys which are self manufactured and assembled by the designer herself.

Ayla

Ayla is a modular leather tote bag designed to last through multiple product life cycles. The bag is built from replaceable leather panels held together by detachable brass hinges, so no stitching is required. Each panel is placed between an outer hinge and an inner plate, then secured with pins and screws. A damaged panel can be replaced without discarding the whole bag. Predetermined patterns allow a salvaged panel to be remade into a smaller clutch. Full disassembly supports repair and reuse at the end of life.
