Cardboard bags from Ilvy Jacobs
Design and sewing of bags is the mainspecialization of the young designer from Holland Ilvy Jacobs. The girl considers bags from the position of the packaging function. As a result of creative reflections on packaging and packaging, the designer began to explore ways to create a bag from cardboard, a kind of hybrid with an ordinary paper bag, but with a longer lifespan due to the improved material.The series of bags is made of laminated fabriccardboard. Thanks to the use of such a hybrid material, the bag has become stronger, more reliable, resistant to moisture and mechanical damage. The main purpose of cardboard bags is a variety of sports. The collection includes tennis bags, golf bags, bowling bags or just a sports bag for going to the gym or swimming pool. But you can use such bags in everyday life. The material resembles leather from the outside, which is even more surprising that it is just a mixture of fabric and cardboard.
These paper bags offer a new perspectivefor everyday luxury and create a new silhouette for the well-known disposable supermarket bag. The usual shape of the bag is transformed to become more stable and convenient. The folding method is reminiscent of the art of origami. The designer hopes that instead of being thrown away, the bag will last long enough to take pride of place in a collection of eco-friendly shopping accessories.
Another unusual direction in the creation of bagsis the use of non-woven material Tyvek - high-density polyethylene, combining the characteristics of paper, film and fabric. Tyvek is usually used to create protective clothing, in construction to protect structures from environmental impacts, in printing. The bags look more like rumpled and crumpled bags, but this chaotic structure is the highlight of the collection.
