Industrial wool felt zipper handbags: the bags zip open and lay flat. Made of recycled / reused eco-friendly material. Comes in shoulder, tote, carry, clutch, and hold styles. By Josh Jakus / JJ / joshjakus.

UMs developed from two creative challenges: The first, to make use of the unique properties of pressed wool felt - its density, texture, pliability, and strength. And the second, to transform a flat surface using only the simplest of operations. When unzipped, UMs lay completely flat for dry cleaning, storage, or travel. Year: 2005
