Goodordering backpack

Designed in London and based on retro travel bags, this backpack designed by Jacqui Ma is a mix between modern and the retro. It has a separate padded laptop compartment and a huge array of pockets on the front of the bag and inside. The main compartment opens up really wide to make it easy to get things in and out. It comes in four colours - maroon, forest green, rusty orange and chestnut brown.

PUMA BAGS BY JACQUI MA

Just cleaning up my computer and came across these images of some bags that i designed with Puma. The ones below had lots of pockets all with different fabric linings so you can remember what you put in each. Mesh, waterproof, white, black and nylon - all with a different purpose. The range had a shopper, backpack and messenger.


The one below never got made but i love this sample. It has velcro on the front and little purses attached with chains which you can stick on wherever you want on the front panel of the bag. I love products that have an in-built sense of playfulness.


This one is inspired by my obsession with tape. The webbing tape wraps around the bag like a loose bandage. I love the contrast of the soft cotton webbing with the plastic coated main body material. I also like how the tape obscures the logo underneath.

These photos were part of a details experiment / study that i did when i was working at puma a couple of years ago. i have always loved the bold effect of strapping (you can check out more about my tape obsession on my other blog http://ilovestickytape.blogspot.com/). We ended up sampling a few different versions of this bag, then it didn't really go anywhere after that, i think it was maybe a bit too avant garde (uncommerical) at the time for the brief but i still really like them and had a lot of fun making them.




The bag itself was picked up as a vintage sample from somewhere in london and the red cotton webbing is from Kleins habadashery in soho. (great place to buy bits and pieces). the part i love the most about designing bags is the experimentation. Typically in the next stage you have to make the bag actually work and then think of all the other practical aspects like interior, pockets, target audience, price point and the rest of the boring stuff that determines whether your bag is actually going to get made or not.

Puma bag by Jacqui Ma

Good evening all. I ran out of inspiration for what bag to post today so thought i would stick up one of my earlier failures with puma. I'll leave you to decide for yourself. It was an early prototype for a new Lydia Hearst collaboration which got canned after most of the work was done.


White body with a couple of splashes of blue in the form of a 'waist belt' and highlighted zip track.


Very subtle Puma branding... in fact its just on the zip pulls and the applique cat logo on the base in body material.


I like the combo of mesh with PU (fake leather), the contrast is a real Puma thing.


I like it but i'm selling it right now to fund my retirement so check it out for yourself.
