Studio Macnas' creates custom bags, explores compostable bags and haberdashery and gives workshops and lessons about sustainable making and entrepreneurship. Everything fits together and reinforces each other.
Just imagine: no more mountains of discarded clothing, shoes, and accessories. What if we only made products from materials so friendly to the earth that you could simply bury them after use? And something new can grow out of them.
Our love for bags goes way back. They are our handy treasures, sometimes as valuable as the things they carry. They tell the world who we are.
Studio Macnas' main goal is a more conscious way of consuming: waste less, appreciate more. What if you ran out of a bag? Really worn out? Then it would be nice if it disappeared without a trace into nature and even nourishes the soil.
Studio Macnas’ designs and creates unique bags. Together we find the design that works best for you or your label. All our bags are hand-made with love in our studio in Utrecht.
Macnas focusses on experiment beyond reuse. Making things without a footprint by using biodegradable materials. Bury in a garden after (long-term) use and you get flowers in return! Thankful slow design.
Current experiments include cactus leather, appleskin, mango leather (Fruitleather), linoleum, grapes, mycelium and kombucha leather from a scoby.
To make a big impact on the fashion industry, Studio Macnas shares their innovative and new-found knowledge in workshops, seminars and events.
