The Ink Bag
Water has been on this earth for billions of years, we have gone through thousands of winters, its about time there was a handbag inspired by this perpetual loop. The bag is made from leather and chromed steel. The metal components were created by first 3d printing each piece in order to create a mold and then casting the metal on top of each piece. The bag size is approximately 10”x 12”x 12”. The leather construction was by far the most important aspect of the design. The leather needed to be molded properly to create the tear drop shape on the front of the bag. This process took a lot of consideration and iterations to perfect.
Behind the Project
The Ink Bag, the successor to the Drip Bag, takes a bold turn from the original pastel blue design and moves in the opposite direction. Crafted from deep black vegan leather and featuring upgraded black metal hardware, it elevates the bag into the realm of high fashion.
Following the initial success of our first Drip Bag was no easy task, but the Ink Bag proved to be another major hit, selling out within a week of its launch.
The bag's custom metal hardware was designed using Rhino, while the fabric is crafted from stitched vegan leather.
