the tote/duffle dilemma
a complaint about current duffles and tote bags on the market is that items get lost in them and it is difficult to use for work, despite their convenient shape/size
ikea
+ convertible into backpack
+ outer pocket
- few interior divisions
herschel supply
- thin straps
+ separate removable bag for bottles
+ minimal hardware
fjällräven
- exterior pockets
+ heavy canvas material
- heavy branding
what is being carried?
how might I create a bag that combines the best elements of a tote and a duffel bag for taking work on the go?
paper
adjusted the outer size and shape of the bag
muslin
flush out assembly and sewing of the bag exterior
felt
focus on placement of all interior elements
paper patterns initially created for prototyping
final bag pattern
final bag design
