Brief
Utilizing inspiration from the Kravet Textile Archives, I was tasked with translating an antique jacquard woven design into a modern-day counterpart.

02. Tote bag
Daily item
Using scraps from personal yardage, I created a tote bag for my daily life.
The straps as well as the lining of the bag are constructed from fabric yardage screenprinted in Spring 2021.
The body of the bag is a jacquard woven fabric, inspired by tropical vintage art. Design created in Photoshop, cleaned in TexCelle, and formatted for jacquard weaving with NedGraphics. Outsourced to WOVNS for fabric yardage, item assembled by hand.
