Description

This crossbody bag (TIES) started its life as a festival banner. After hanging above crowds and stages, the material would normally be discarded. Studio Fiep collects these banners and turns them into bags that carry a bit of that energy forward in their own funky way.

The fold-top design allows you to adjust the size depending on what you’re carrying. Keep it compact for daily essentials or unfold it when you need extra space. The material is strong and water-resistant, so your book, notebook or phone stays protected from unexpected rain.

Inside, there’s a small pocket for items you want to keep separate. Every bag is handmade, and because each banner is different, no two crossbody bags look the same. Colours, prints and graphic fragments vary, making every piece clearly one of one.

Who is this for

• For people who like practical bags with a funky character.
• For those who enjoy carrying something colourful, expressive and full of stories.

Out of the ordinary

Each crossbody bag is unique. Small marks, print fragments or slight variations in colour may appear, depending on the banner used. The structure and function stay consistent, while the look always differs.
