recta

This is a tote bag made of recta – rectangular pieces of fabric.
The bag represents upcycling and is made of abandoned architecture ad material combined with YKK accessories like zippers and snap fasteners.
You can change the size and the shape by opening and closing the zippers, and customize how the pattern shows.The material is water resistant so the bag is good for rainy days.
Upcycling is one of approaches in sustainable product making. It means to create a high value item using design instead of just recycling materials.
