For my final major project i wanted to try something different to my usual clothing path, I have chosen to make a leather hand bag which will be designed and styled by bloggers (Myself being one of them which will then be posted on my own personal blog). I wanted to make my bag out of leather because its currently in the fashion trends, especially having high end companies like Chanel on the market. I did a lot of research to find and experiment, so when it came to designing, i could come up with a high end, functional and a classic handbag, relating back to my research.
I created my own board on Pinterest as well which was really useful when designing!
When looking at high end design which were already on the market i saw that geometric shapes were very popular and gave that minimalistic feel which is what i wanted to base my handbag on. I looked in to this further and found that i wanted to go down this route as being a blogger myself, i know that they love unique shapes as they are great to jazz up a minimal outfit.
When it came to designing i had so many options of the shapes and colours, but after a lot problem solving and deciding what would be best i decided to go for a prism with a different type of leather other than plain black.
The leather has molten drops over, as i wanted to make my bag look high end, this also fits the price tag of the leather too at £100 a meter.
Making the mock up of my design was very helpful as it made sure that when it came to doing the final piece it ran a lot smoother.
To go along with my bag i decided to make a coin purse which would relate to the shape, hence the pointed unboxed corners. it really compliments each other too.
