Inspired by the renowned artist Louise Bourgeois and her fascination with spirals, this bag combines artistry and functionality in one.
Spirals of the spider’s web. Spinning and weaving. Inward and outward. Control and chaos and freedom. The spiral can control chaos but it can also unravel.
Designed for both aesthetics and functionality; it’s foldable and extremely strong as it can carry over 20 kilograms.
Louise Bourgeois (1911 – 2010) was a renowned French-American artist and sculptor, best known for her contributions to both modern and contemporary art, and for her spider structures entitled Maman, one of which was on show for the opening of Tate Modern in 2000.
