About Olka 무봉제 가방

올카는 이란의 돌이킬 수 없는 이주에서 영감을 받은 수작업 무봉제 가죽 가방입니다. 레이저로 절단된 슬릿을 통해 서로 맞물리는 54개의 모듈형 소가죽 조각으로 구성되어 있습니다. 크기는 220 x 220 x 80mm이며, 가방의 손잡이는 호두나무로 제작되었습니다. 올카는 페르시아어로 고향을 의미하며, 요즘 이란의 10대와 청년들은 더 나은 삶을 만들기 위해 고향을 떠나고 있습니다. 이주는 그들의 마음과 영혼, 심지어 육체에도 균열을 만들 수 있지만, 모든 균열은 새롭고 아름다운 꽃이 피어나는 기회를 제공합니다.

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.
