the brand

"Suman" is a Filipino delicacy. They are rice cakes commonly wrapped in banana, coconut, palm leaves. There are many cool forms and versions from different villages. This is a series of bags inspired by them.

the process

I got the idea of designing a travel bag line from a class that focused on existing brands and possible subsidiaries. My group studied Airbnb from which I highlighted problems of travelers in the airport. This is where my measurements originated from.

the experience

The result is a series of travel bags with calculated collective size for organization. They can all fit in the mainbag.

Protect your water bottles with a coozi with utensil compartments.

the coozi

Can carry a change of clothes for a weekend! It can hold 2 tops, jeans, socks, underwear, and accessories.
