| Gallery label | The recognisable structure of Issey Miyake’s 'Bao Bao' bag is achieved with a series of triangular tiles that shift as the bag is moved to create new geometric forms. The versatile nature of the surface resembles origami and makes the bag changeable, moulding to the shape of its contents as well as to the wearer’s body.
