We had this idea to ask some of our friends to create a collaborative series of one-of-a-kind tote bags. The end project is a limited edition of 150, with each natural canvas tote bag designed and signed by each artist. All of the totes have been customized using a different artistic process, ranging from hand-done drawings and intricate quilt-work to simple screen printing and photo transfers.
Contributors to this project include fashion designer Zac Posen, artists Hisham Akira Bharoocha, Fanny Bostrom and Jeremiah Maddock, musician Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear, architect Robert Harvey Oshatz, fashion stylists Christopher Niquet and Pamela Love, poet T. Cole Rachel, and photographers Tim Barber and Nicholas Lorden.
Participating artists: Anna Ahonen, Tim Barber, Hisham Akira Bharrocha, Jonathan Black, Andrew Blazer, Suzuya Bobo, Fanny Bostrom, Joanna Bovay, Alex Chodak, Adi Cydulkin, Roi Cydulkin, Hedi Ferjani, Alex Eagleton, Alec Friedman, Joey Gabriel, Brooke Goldberg, Katherine Krause, Sally Krause, Katariina Lamberg, Jojo Li, Nicholas Lorden, Pamela Love, Jeremiah Maddock, Katrina del Mar, Richie Mosley, David Mramor, Christopher Niquet, Robert Harvey Oshatz, Skye Parrott, Zac Posen, T.

For our tote bag project we sent out a bunch of totes, asking each artist to use the bag as a canvas. This is what we got back from the ingenious Mr. Zac Posen. He replicated our design in some seriously luxe materials creating an absolute thing of beauty - a completely custom, hand-made tote bag, crafted of white alligator and black lambskin with chain link straps. It's stunning. We have no idea what he did with the canvas tote bags we sent him and we don't care. It has all the proper Zac Posen labeling in it and all that, but most importantly, it is the only one on the planet. What more can we say? Lucky you who buys it.
