Concept
The Problem
Often, our hands are either full, or we are simply too lazy to carry unnecessary items. The aluminum can from a drink you haven’t finished is particularly inconvenient. Personally, I worry about spilling the contents, and holding a cold can constantly becomes uncomfortable.
The Solution
A drawstring pouch for aluminum cans, featuring a special lid and a small compartment for small items (earbuds, nasal drops, etc.), woven in a macrame technique using rubber.
Target Audience
Youth aged 18–35.
They socialize in groups, attend parties, festivals, and picnics where canned beverages are standard. They value unique accessories and are willing to wear something distinctive—something that stands out.
The bag is perfectly suited for festival-goers, concert attendees, market visitors, and sports event participants who have their hands full with phones, food, or merchandise—and have nowhere to put their drinks.
Materials and Production
Materials
The straps and handle are made from 4 mm rubber cord with a 2 mm opening (11.28 meters are needed to produce the item); the bag base is made from wire (36 cm are needed for production), which is also threaded through the rubber cord; the lid is made from food-grade silicone (lid diameter 5 cm, wall thickness 0.5 cm, ring diameter 2 cm, ring thickness 0.5 cm); the main parts of the bag are attached to the handle using metallic round carabiners (diameter 4 cm, thickness 5 mm); the small compartment of the bag includes a canvas pouch
Production
For the large compartment of the bag, seven rows of weaving are made, and for the small one, five rows. The lid is produced using mold casting (in the prototype, the lid was 3D printed from TPU).
