Black Garden bag and backpack

The front of each of these bags is handwoven. The linen warps of the fabric are dyed with a gradient following the ikat technique. The bags are made from waterproof furniture fabric with nylon lining in the inside pockets. Each bag is a little different. Merle Suurkask drew inspiration for the bags from the imagery of a snow-free garden in January: black, lifeless but at the same time graphic and beautiful when viewed longer. A hidden beauty that opens up when you look closely.
