Loving SSWTR’s take on iconic handbags - each one is stripped down to the essence of the original in shape and hardware, and sewn in plain muslin or twill. From the site: “Through this process, the hi- fashion designer bag becomes a lo-fi object sketch and consequently an alternate icon of itself.”
Inspired by: 1. Dior bag; 2. Hermes Birkin bag; 3. Chanel bag. The fourth one shown is the Ultimate bag - a hybrid of elements from Dior, Chanel, Gucci and Balenciaga.
