DESIGN
"Designing around what we grow"
Working alongside nature and not against it, as a designer I believe it is our job to go (at least) that 1% more than climate positive. Our central value pillars are written before we start and reflected on when we complete each collection.
Being circular and regenerative is a must but to go that extra step you have to enrich not only the soils in biodiversity but you have to benefit all hands involved in making your designs.
The designs have been made so that they are fully compostable in your garden waste but also they are developed from indigenous skill sets which not only keeps the heritage alive but passes this onto a new generation of weavers.
"From our hands to yours ~ Uri"

Dictating not just the design of the bag but the mood and visual language for all things Uri
Form, balance and function
Design development
When starting the design process the personal key developments happen on the stand, in this case in sculpting the moulds with our welder. In clothing I take a lot of time adjusting the details in draping and pattern cutting in theses bags there were many alterations of slight degrees to get the perfect form.
All designs of both bags and cloths - I wear repeatedly ensuring the function is as perfectly balanced as the form.
A modular basket for a modern capsule wardrobe
Every part of the basket is modular, once the body of the bag has been worn beyond disrepair the it can be disposed in your garden waste. All components and can be swapped, bought again and the patina of your lifes wear kept on our premium hand crafted leather handles.
