THE MAGIC OF EVERYDAY OBJECTS

Everyday items can be playfully transformed into humorous bags. In the 1980s, British designer Lulu Guinness became synonymous with surreal and witty accessories inspired by commonplace objects. More recently, Gabriela Hearst used an accordion to inspire her 'Diana' bag (named after soul singer Diana Ross) [T.272-2019], while Rejina Pyo took a traditional Korean lunch box for her 'Nane' bag [T.297-2019]. Often, these bags are made to stand independently, transforming them into intriguing sculptures that transcend their function as mere receptacles for transporting belongings.
