Projects
- Reflective RucksackThis reflective and glow in the dark bag was another piece within my graduate collection. Like the Multiway Bag it encapsulated the functionality and durability that my collection presents. Inserting reflective materials into the knit formed the rigid structure as well as a safety feature. Inlaying glow in the dark paracord to contain the fastenings and adds function
- Multiway BagThis Multiway Bag was the penultimate piece within my graduate collection and encompasses elements of all the other fabrics. Inserting materials into the knit formed a strong and durable structure, necessary to take weight without warping the knit. It uses inlayed paracord to create a channel for the bag strap to pass through. Multiple pathways have been formed by this to allow it transform from rucksack to tote bag.
