This asymmetrical camera bag I call the "Tombstone Bag" is made of top grain belting leather. The stiff material allows it to mimic the abstract and asymmetrical shape of the monuments that inspire it. Fully hand sewn with outward seams, its hard structure mimics concrete. Standing roughly 10.5 by 7 inches tall with a 3 inch wide gusset, this bag is a compact yet striking reminder to reflect on and capture each moment.
This winged leather messenger bag I call "Zmaj" is inspired by the Serbian folklore dragon of the same name. In all four corners, one side of the seam is drastically longer, creating this abstract silhouette with wing-like flaps. Made of top grain belting leather, the stiff material allows the wings to maintain their shape. This bag is dyed my hand using a process called marbling, creating an appearance similar to smoke.
This chain-lock closure messenger bag is the base design for this collection. Sharp brutalist lines and angles that convey a philosophy of remembrance. Made of top grain upholstery leather and hand sewn, this bag pays homage to the buildings that inspire it.
This grey seersucker cotton dust bag is my envisioned presentation and storage for these pieces. Hand dyed, the uneven splotches add a unique pattern to each bag. Hand sewn leather aglets adorn the ends of the drawstring, made of the same leather the bag inside consists of. With abstract shapes, even as a dust bag it contributes to the identity of each piece.
