We do go on about "less is more"- which we define as the principle that good design can lead to more efficient use of materials and less consumption of resources with no sacrifice in utility.This TreeHugger doesn't usually do bags but rarely do we see such topological wonders as in the work of Conphorm- "These handbags are made from 2 layers of industrial wool felt with a zipper sewn around the edges. When open, the piece lays completely flat. When zipped, the piece turns into an organic 3-dimensional form. Comes in 4 sizes: wallet, purse, clutch, and carry. Felt is grey and zipper tape comes in orange, green, grey, and blue." Minimalist, mathematical and marvelous. ::Conphorm via ::Josh Spear
