Graffiti Mini Tote Bag - Other Materials

Materials

Body: leather reclaimed from an 1980s jacket, hand‑dyed for an uneven, lived patina.
Side panels: denim cut from jeans, hand‑painted with graffiti.
Lining: reclaimed cotton, hand‑decorated with matching graffiti.
Closure: magnetic snap.

Construction and details
Panel construction with careful alignment of pattern cuts. Handles stitched with reinforced seams and square reinforcements at their base. Visible topstitching; seams retain traces of hand work, a deliberately rough aesthetic that foregrounds craft and reuse.

Dimensions
18 × 13 × 6 cm

Archival note
Zero‑waste approach: materials are selected for character and durability; controlled aesthetic irregularities arise from reclaimed materials and hand execution and do not impair function.
