RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This project has started and based on my real-life experiences and intuition for a long time as a woman. I realized friends of mine and other women also felt same way as I've been thinking about the issues through interviews. For example, the issues were carrying all of necessary belongings and needed set extra bags aside for travelling uncomfortably.
CHALLENGE: I was new to fashion area since I'm visual and advertising designer, therefore, it was hard to find right fabrics and materials for products. I did market research in field. Also I had to learn how to use sewing machine to make products by myself because of security reasons. As I expected, it was fun to see the process of making prototype.
