This project presents an approach to the accessory category that blends fashion with function through a corset-inspired fanny pack. It is crafted using real leather with the design that accentuates the versatility of leather. It beautifully embraces the contours of the body, functioning not just as a utility bag but also as an add-on garment that enhances the overall silhouette of the body. It reimagines the possibilities of leather accessories in contemporary fashion.
