Art Bags: Dossier's Artist-Designed Totes

By Gabriel Bell

As always, we have to thank the intrepid trend spotters at Coolhunting for turning over every well-designed rock in search of the goods. This time, they've come up with the latest project from the ever-debonair Dossier magazine—a limited-series of one-of-a-kind artist-designed tote bags. Far more than your average receptacle for sunglasses and loose change, these sacks feature varying and sometimes surprising fabrication processes—including hand-made drawings, photo transfers, and quilting—done by a rogue's gallery of creatives including Zac Posen, Hisham Akira Bharoocha, and our beloved Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear. Signed by the creator and utterly unique, these guys "totes" beat your run-of-the-mill "This is Not A Plastic Bag" any day. (Coolhunting)
