This tote is inspired by the lived reality of women lacking adequate pockets and thoughtfully designed bags. It’s a solution to the age old problem , women’s clothing and accessories often neglect practicality forcing them to juggle style and utility, this bag reclaims that functionality a mobile wearable extension of the pockets women never had. The tote offers compartmentalized interior custom designed for the things women carry , each with it’s own thoughtful pocket.The skin and bones bag is also inspired by the ribs of a skinny cow fragile looking but unbreakably strong , the structural lines on the wallet not only visualize signature but also support internal compartments mimicking ribs protecting internal organs.inspiration is rooted in respect to, honoring the cow not only as a material source but an artistic muse.this tote is sustainable in the sense that leather is durable hence the tote is built to last and ages beautifully with time this prevents overconsumption from needing a new bag and supports conscious consumption, leather is also a by product of the meat industry there fore minimizing waste.
