Qhov Tsim

Txog Ayla Lub Hnab Nqa Khoom Tote Bag

Ntawv Piav Qhia: Ayla yog ib lub hnab tawv nqaij tote bag uas tsim los siv tau ntev dhau ntau lub sijhawm ntawm khoom siv. Lub hnab yog muab tsim los ntawm cov phiaj tawv nqaij uas hloov tau tshiab, sib txuas ua ke los ntawm cov txheej txheem tooj liab uas rho tawm tau, yog li tsis tas yuav xaws li. Txhua daim phiaj yuav muab tso rau nruab nrab ntawm txheej sab nraud thiab daim phaib sab hauv, ces siv nab thiab foos ntsia kom nyob ruaj. Yog tias ib daim phiaj puas lawm, peb hloov tau tshiab tsis tas yuav pov tseg tag nrho lub hnab. Cov qauv uas twb muab teem tseg lawm pab kom cov phiaj uas cawm tau los siv rov tsim ua ib lub hnab me hu ua clutch. Kev muab tag nrho lub hnab rhuav tawm tau pab txhawb kev kho thiab rov siv dua thaum lub hnab txog rau lub sijhawm siv tag lawm.

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: Modular and transformable leather panels along with detachable hinges allow Ayla to last multiple product life cycles. The detachable hinge facilitates ease of repair when the product gets damaged. Simply undo the hinge and replace the damaged leather panel, eliminating the need to throw away the entire product. The ability to fully disassemble the product allows for an environmentally friendly end-of-life with the ability to either repair or transform old leather panels into new products.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: 460 mm x 100 mm x 330 mm
Cov Ntsiab Lus: Bag, Leather, Sustainable, Hardware, Interchangeable, Replaceable, Tote, Modular Panels, Transformable
Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: Experimenting with multiple 3D printed components, I focused on exploring ways to attach leather panels without the use of stitching. I landed on a pin system. Leather panels are sandwiched between an outer hinge and an inner plate. The panels are secured atop the pins and then anchored with a series of screws. With these hinges, everything from the handle, to the main body, to the interior can be replaced. Final hinges were made of polished brass to ensure longevity with extended ware.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: The hardest part of this project was finding the perfect intersection of functionality/sustainability and desired look. I determined through my research that my target audience wanted a product that had sustainable attributes but looked no different from a traditional bag. I could achieve the desired function but not in an aesthetic that was appealing to my audience. Through many rounds of prototypes and interviews, I came to a final mechanism that satisfied both ends.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: I started with database research to determine opportunities to reduce waste. I interviewed 4 professionals in the fashion accessories industry. I used these two methods to inform my hinge mechanism. For product look and feel, I used a survey to determine bag silhouette, mood boards to determine detail and target audience, triading to determine desired look, narrative scenarios to determine how the bag would be used, and user interviews to ultimately hone in on a final design direction.
Kev Txhawb Siab: Leather is one of the most polluting sectors within fashion. Most leather products contribute to the idea of take-make-waste. Reducing environmental impact is not as simple as switching to a leather alternative. Almost all alternatives are polymer based and cannot match traditional leather's longevity. If farmed regeneratively, used as meat industry byproduct, and, if able to be used multiple times, leather can be sustainable. Ayla explores how we can use leather to its maximum potential.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: Started in August of 2023 at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, USA. and finished in May of 2024 in Rochester, New York, USA.
Txheej Txheem Ua Hauj Lwm: The detachable nature of the metal hinge allows for components within the product to be interchanged when damage occurs. If one side of the product gets damaged, simply replace that panel, not the entire item; this reduces wastage. Additionally, the main leather panels were designed to be turned into a different, smaller product if only one panel can be salvaged. Predetermined patterns ensure that one panel can be turned into a smaller clutch, further reducing the waste of the item.
