MUTAZIONI - multi ((4)) bag

Category: Accessories

This piece is part of my BA project "Mutazioni". The collection aims to narrate the struggle for survival of bodies, once human, that find themselves having to inhabit a hostile environment. Their limbs are thus afflicted by deformities, mutations, and anomalies. Crafted from calf leather, this bag embodies a design inspired by the organic, mutated shape of a kidney. This modular accessory, consisting of four detachable units, offers versatile wearability: each unit functions independently as a standalone side bag or can be integrated with the others, allowing a customizable arrangment. Every unit is padded to ensure the bag maintains its sculptural form even when empty. Particular attention has been devoted to the creative process behind this piece: it all started with the envisioning of a shape, that has been first created with paper and subsequently translated into a functional leather accessory. The creative journey was marked by numerous trials, refining the shape and the leather cuts to discover the most harmonious and functional design.
