The rectangular pieces of floating material are covered by umbrella nylon fabrics, striped cotton jersey or other techno textiles. They are assembled to make tote bags that can be carried underarm with adjustable leather double handles made from repurposed from military belts. A small and flat purse with internal pockets and inserts is also included in the line.
