BOLSAS DEL FUTURO

Bolsas del Futuro is a project that explores how “the bag” can be used as a platform to create a more sustainable world.  Each one of the bags is a work of art that question what vernacular craftsmanship is in the 21st century.

​

All the bags are intentionally made on both sides of the most crossed border in the world (Tijuana and San Diego). I collaborated with local artisans to develop a regional style that is uniquely our own.

​

The bags are made with the following waste materials:

- Discarded flour sacs from our local bakeries.

- Old seatbelts from cars at our junkyards.

- Dead-stock upholstery fabrics from two brothers that make couches.

​

I worked with a local factory that has a long history of making heavy-duty bags for the outdoors. All the bags are high-quality, limited-edition, and they even contain a laptop sleeve!
