The project's objective was to display a capsule collection that was inspired by contemporary daily life. Persian cultural heritage served as one of my main sources of inspiration for this project. In addition, the fact that I lived in a large, modern city like Tehran back then was another inspiration for me to show how these two worlds can coexist in a design concept, just as they do in our everyday lives.
This capsule collection was made around my obsession with a philosophy that provides us with a new lens through which we can view and understand the world around us:
post-modernism

The concept for this design was inspired by my daily life in an industrial city with a rich history and cultural heritage. Although the combination of metal and fiber may appear conflicting, they have been properly integrated in this design to reflect the overall concept.
Metal symbolizes perseverance and modern industrial life. Fiber, on the other hand, brings to mind images of handwoven fabrics and traditional crafts.The entire ensemble demonstrates a new and distinct method of accessory design that integrates both traditional craftsmanship and modern technologies.
The body of these bags are made out of stained steel sheets and picked simple basic geometrical silhouettes to allow the details reveal their versatility and strike a balance between delicacy and simplicity.
All pieces and holes were laser cut and then the loom was constructed on the body of the bags using a needle and waxed thread passed through small holes located on the steel pieces and allowed me to weave motifs to complete the look.
