About Olka کیف بدون دوخت

اُلکا یک کیف چرمی دست‌ساز بدون دوخت است که از مهاجرت بازگشت‌ناپذیر ایرانیان الهام گرفته شده است. این کیف از 54 قطعه چرم طبیعی گاو به صورت مدولار تشکیل شده که به یکدیگر قفل می‌شوند. این بافت از طریق شکاف‌هایی که با لیزر بر روی چرم ایجاد شده‌اند، انجام می‌شود. ابعاد آن 220 × 220 × 80 میلی‌متر است. دسته کیف از چوب گردو ساخته شده است. اُلکا در زبان فارسی به معنای وطن است، این روزها نوجوانان و جوانان ایرانی برای خلق زندگی بهتر وطن خود را ترک می‌کنند و مهاجرت می‌تواند شکاف‌هایی در ذهن، روح و حتی بدن آن‌ها ایجاد کند اما هر شکاف موقعیتی برای خلق گل زیبای جدیدی فراهم می‌آورد.

Unique Properties
Leather is a durable material, but usually the threads used to sew leather crafts, lose their quality sooner than leather, so creating the seamless leather bags can be effective in increasing its quality. Olka is non-stitched, the modular leather pieces are interlocked together, which increases the speed of production, and if needed for repair, the damaged piece can be easily replaced with a new one. It even gives the possibility to the user to order the bag in separate pieces and make her own.
Dimensions & Packaging
The dimension of Olka is 220*220*80 millimeter.

Production Technology
The main bag consists of 72 cow genuine leather pieces that are first designed in 2D and 3D in AutoCAD, then cut by laser cut, and the pieces are interwoven together. This bag also has an inner bag that is handcrafted and it is also created from cow genuine leather and can be used separately as a minimal crossbody bag.
Design Challenge
The main challenge in creating this product was whether the final strength of the interlocked components would be equal to the stitching and whether the main bag could be delivered to the customer in the separated pieces, so that she could create the bag herself by interlocking them together.
Research
In the process of design and creation, research was done in the field of interlocking system, modular system, consumer behavior, DIY products and the migration rate of youth Iranian which finally resulted in the creation of this project.
Inspiration
According to reports of 2022, about 50% of Iranian students and entrepreneurs have desired to emigrate from their country and 62% have not decided to return back. Olka means homeland in Persian language and it was created by the inspiration of Iranian youth who immigrate with the aim of creating a better life. Migration brings mental, emotional and even physical pains, but pain is an opportunity for growth. In this case, every slit provides the basis for creating a new beautiful flower.
Project Duration
The design of this bag stated in September 2023 in Tehran, Iran and created in October 2023 in Tehran.
Operation Flow
This bag consists of modular leather pieces that are interlocked together. The consumer can order this bag in separate components and will make the bag according to its manual and it will have a great emotional connection and sense of belonging with the product.
