The Butt Bag is designed as part of a series of fashion
items called Les Membres Collection. The collection depicts
the human body in a light-hearted and playful way. Being
tired of unrealistic and unrelatable “beauty” advertising,
these fashion items are inclusive and available in a range
of colours. They are bodies, as bodily adornments, and
serve as statement pieces that celebrate the natural body.
In collaboration with 3DW.it, The Butt Bag has
been explored and prototyped through metal smithing,
3D-printing, molding and leather treatment. We wanted
to add a surreal milieu to The Butt Bag through the use of
beautiful wood like walnut, olive and oak. These woods
are also high in fibre density and are a sustainable source
of materials in the Dolomites. The intention was to create
something that serves as a great conversation starter. The
wearer of Les Membres Collection is someone who is slightly
eccentric, yet elegant, and unafraid to be genuine. It also
hopes to depict the complicated human relationships that
are hard to explain beyond words.
