New SAMON YECHI Reversible Tote Bags Now Online!...

After lots of development, I have now got a final design for my new reversible tote bags.

Production is now on its way so I thought I'd share a few pics of what you can now buy online at samonyechi.com.

These bags will soon come in different colour ways and fabrics and only a very limited amount of just 5 bags are available to buy in each design. Look out for new colour ways soon!


The outside of the bag is made up from denim for the top half and Nigerian sourced wax print fabric for the base.
On the front of the bag is a denim lined pocket which is personally screen-print and embroidered with a clear dark red acrylic SAMON YECHI label hand stitched on. The straps are made from cotton cord and attach through eyelets.


For the reverse side of the bag, the base fabrics are swapped and there is a smaller pocket on the front which has also been hand screen-print and embroidered, with a smaller red acrylic label attached.


To print the pocket, the base colours are made from running a range of coloured inks through a clear screen using torn paper where the white is to block out the ink. A red and grey linier print is then printed over the top, and then top stitched with a vibrant yellow thread. Because of this free style of printing, each pocket has a different base and is there for unique.


The straps are made from cotton cord and and attach to the bag through gold eyelets and then knotted on the other side. The ends of the cord are finished with a yellow plastic coating to stop any fraying.

Back To Plastic: SAMON YECHI iPad cases...

It's been a while since I did any product development with my plastic.

But now after a little break I have started working on a new little project; iPad and laptop cases.

Still early stages, but a few ideas are starting to form for final products.

Heres a little sneak peak of what I've been making so far...

The video gives a look into what I do at Bath School of Art and Design and is an insight in to what you could expect as a student of Bath Spa University.
