The Design

About Olka Bag na Walang Tahi

Ang Olka ay isang likhang-kamay na bag na gawa sa katad na walang tahi, inspirado ng di-na-mababawing migrasyon ng mga Iranian. Binubuo ito ng 54 modular na piraso ng tunay na katad ng baka na magkakasalikop. Ang pagsasalikop na ito ay isinasagawa sa pamamagitan ng mga hiwa na ginupit sa katad gamit ang laser. Ang sukat nito ay 220 x 220 x 80 mm. Ang hawakan ng bag ay gawa sa kahoy na walnut. Ang Olka ay nangangahulugang tinubuang-bayan sa wikang Persian. Sa mga panahong ito, ang mga kabataang Iranian ay umaalis sa kanilang tinubuang-bayan upang lumikha ng mas magandang buhay, at ang migrasyon ay maaaring lumikha ng mga bitak sa kanilang isipan at kaluluwa maging sa kanilang katawan, ngunit bawat bitak ay nagbibigay ng pagkakataon para sa paglikha ng isang bagong magandang bulaklak.

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.
