About Olka Tikişsiz Sumka

Olka, Eýranyň yzyna gaýdyp bolmaýan göçünden ylham alan, el bilen ýasalan tikişsiz deri sumkadyr. Ol biri-birine baglanýan 54 sany modully hakyky sygyr derisinden ýasalan böleklerden durýar. Bu dokma, deriniň üstünde lazer bilen kesilen çyzyklaryň üsti bilen amala aşyrylýar. Onuň ölçegleri 220 x 220 x 80 mm-dir. Sumkanyň tutawajy hozuň agajyndan ýasalýar. Olka pars dilinde Watan diýmegi aňladýar, häzirki wagtda eýranly ýetginjekler we ýaşlar has gowy durmuş gurmak üçin öz Watanlaryny terk edýärler, we göç olaryň aňyna, ruhuna, hatda bedenine çatryklar döredip biler, emma her çatryk täze owadan gülleriň döremegi üçin şert döredýär.

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.
Tags: Modular, non stitched, geometric, homeland, Olka, leather bag, interlocking modular components, lasercut, migration
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.
