Carry.
A compact leather backpack shaped around protection, expression and everyday movement.01 / The object
Love thy bag, with all its curves and edges.
Soft folds.
Clear protection.
This backpack study pairs a suede front with a structured body and a bright silicone edge. The folded surface gives the bag its identity while concealed pockets and a stored weather cover keep the form useful.

03 / Design resolution
One form,
drawn from every side.
The final drawings define the backpack’s proportions, hardware, pocket locations and the tree-knot-inspired folds across the front panel.
04 / Making
From drawing
to sewn mock-up.
Paper patterns established the proportions before the panels were cut, stitched, zipped and assembled. The mock-up tested the folded front, pocket construction, straps and illuminated perimeter at full scale.
