Ang Disenyo

Tungkol sa Ayla Tote Bag

Ang Ayla ay isang modular na tote bag na yari sa katad, idinisenyo upang tumagal sa maraming siklo ng buhay ng produkto. Ang bag ay binubuo mula sa mga papalitang panel ng katad na pinagdikit ng mga natatanggal na brass hinge, kaya walang kailangang tahiin. Inilalagay ang bawat panel sa pagitan ng panlabas na hinge at panloob na plate, pagkatapos ay isinesegurong gamit ang mga pin at turnilyo. Ang isang sirang panel ay maaaring palitan nang hindi itinatapon ang buong bag. Ang mga paunang natakdang pattern ay nagbibigay-daan sa isang naligtas na panel na muling gawin bilang mas maliit na clutch. Ang kumpletong pagtatanggal-tanggal ay sumusuporta sa pagkumpuni at muling paggamit sa katapusan ng buhay ng produkto.

Mga Natatanging Katangian: 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.

Teknolohiya sa Produksyon: 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.
Hamon sa Disenyo: 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.
Pananaliksik: 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.
Inspirasyon: 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.
Tagal ng Proyekto: 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.
Daloy ng Operasyon: 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.
