A Bottega Venetia cassette intrecciato cross body bag reimagined in Plaintain Crisps and Chow Chow cardboard sourced from Brixton market. I’ve had this cardboard for several months and not used it as it only had small areas of colour. It has a woven construction, the green and orange cardboard strips creating flexible panels. Plantain crisps is the green cardboard. The Chow Chow is orange. Chayote[1] (Sechium edule), also known as mirliton, choko, christophene, chou chou and chow chow. #cardboard #carboardart #londonart #handbags #designer #artfortoday #tote #clutch #brixtonart #londongroup #artist #sculpture #handluggage #carryall #suitcase #shoulderbag #purse #minaudiere #satchel #cardboardsculpture #makeart #fashionart #foldingandcutting #artforsale #bottegavenetia #chowchow #chayote #cassettebag #woven #intrecciato (at Brixton, South London) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co26swII-NL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

An Yves Saint Laurent Loulou bag reimagined in Cosihome Dual control Electric blanket cardboard. I imagine the not so sleeping lady being carried around as if in a dream, waking on the bus or in bar looking out from her snug cardboard home. Then returning to pretend slumber. Passenger or prisoner. The Cosihome features 9 heat settings a Detachable cord for easy washing, Luxurious soft fleece finish, Corner ties for secure fitting, Over heat protection and Individual body and feet heating zones. #londongroup #glamcaddy #loulou #reticule #bion #freud #cardboard #carboardart #londonart #handbags #organiser #designer #artfortoday #tote #clutch #brixtonart #artist #sculpture #ysl #containercontained #satchel #purse #minaudiere #cardboardsculpture #makeart #fashionart #artforsale #cosihome #electricblanket #sleep (at Brixton, South London) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cokpw9Bo2z1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A medium Celine Belt Bag realised in Two tier extendable shoe rack powder coated steel frame holds up to 10 pairs of shoes cardboard found on Lordship Lane. Shoe storage packaging becoming container seems to maintain the illusion of holding the shoes. Whoever these shoes belonged to seemed to have tiny feet. Hold on! Is that a pair of ruby slippers? #rubyslippers #shoerack #cardboard #carboardart #londonart #handbags #celinebeltbag #designer #artfortoday #tote #DIY #clutch #brixtonart #londongroup #artist #sculpture #handluggage #dorothy #carryall #suitcase #shoulderbag #purse #minaudiere #satchel #cardboardsculpture #makeart #fashionart #foldingandcutting #artforsale #toiledejoiy (at Lordship Lane.

A cantilever toolbox realised in washable toile de joiy wallpaper pasted onto cardboard. This has taken me a couple of weeks to construct and thanks to Henry GW for the loan of a toolbox from which to copy. Half contrary material realisation and half challenge, more engineering than a handbag but still an instantly recognisable classic. #cantilever #toolbox #cardboard #carboardart #londonart #handbags #handyman #designer #artfortoday #tote #DIY #clutch #brixtonart #londongroup #artist #sculpture #handluggage #wallpaper #carryall #suitcase #shoulderbag #purse #minaudiere #satchel #cardboardsculpture #makeart #fashionart #foldingandcutting #artforsale #toiledejoiy (at Brixton, South London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoBEHchIVVn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Launer Traviata handbag reimagined in Bosch lawnmower and Makita cordless angle grinder cardboard.

A Louis Vuitton Alma handbag reimagined in oval tempered glass casserole dish cardboard and matching bread-bin, tea, coffee and sugar canisters cardboard. The cardboard was salvaged from Brixton market. Louis Vuitton fashion house was founded in 1854 producing flat topped trunks for sea voyages. (Previously they had been round topped to repel water but the flat topped trunks became more popular because they were easier to stack.) Today Louis Vuitton fashion house is worth an estimated £28 billion. #londongroup #glamcaddy #alma #reticule #bion #freud #cardboard #carboardart #londonart #handbags #organiser #designer #artfortoday #tote #clutch #brixtonart #artist #sculpture #ysl #containercontained #satchel #purse #minaudiere #cardboardsculpture #makeart #fashionart #artforsale #louisvuitton #caseroledish #bread-bin (at Brixton, South London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKm2-LoBhD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

An Yves Saint Laurent Fermoir bag reimagined in Kellogg’s Rice Crispies cardboard found on the street in Brixton. Constructed whilst listening to the World Cup final on radio 5. Only £2.99 for a cereal that will apparently provide 50% of your daily vitamin D needs, all very necessary in these dark days. The gnome characters were originally designed by illustrator Vernon Grant in the early 1930s Corporate promotional material describes their relationship as resembling that of brothers. Snap is the oldest and is known as a problem solver, Crackle is an unsure "middle child" and known as a jokester, and Pop is a mischievous yet also clumsy youngster and the center of attention. There was briefly a fourth brother in the 1950s named Pow who represented the claimed explosive nutritional value of Rice Krispies. #londongroup #glamcaddy #ricecrispies #reticule #bion #freud #cardboard #carboardart #londonart #handbags #organiser #designer #artfortoday #tote #fermoir #clutch #brixtonart #artist #sculpture #ysl #containercontained #satchel #purse #minaudiere #cardboardsculpture #makeart #fashionart #artforsale #vernongrant #vitamind (at Brixton, South London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUuNdzoX36/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

An Yves Saint Laurent Loulou bag reimagined in Mira Atom shower mixer fitting and SQ Professional storage container cardboard. The cardboard picked up in Brixton market several weeks ago comes together in stylish tones of black, silver and copper. Containers for bread, tea, coffee and sugar mixed with cascading water what more could one want. The Loulou is really defined by its quilted pattern which I have managed to recreate in a maquette but not in a reimagined final version. This bags identity is determined more by its shape.

An Yves Saint Laurent Loulou bag reimagined in Makita cordless hedge trimmer cardboard. I like the identifiable Makita brand turquoise and was careful to make the packaging work to be able to have a sawtooth handle. Much of the cardboard here is cut against the grain because hedge-trimmers come in funny shaped boxes. #londongroup #glamcaddy #loulou #reticule #bion #freud #cardboard #carboardart #londonart #handbags #organiser #designer #artfortoday #tote #banksidegallery #clutch #brixtonart #artist #sculpture #ysl #containercontained #satchel #purse #minaudiere #cardboardsculpture #makeart #fashionart #artforsale #makita #hedgetrimmer (at Brixton, South London) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clw8Xr1otEI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Hermes Jane Birkin realised in Cookworks Microwave cardboard. Originally designed by Jean-Louis Dumas after Jane Birkin complained she couldn’t find a handbag big enough to accommodate the necessaries need by a young mother. Average price for a real Hermes Jane Birkin is about £26k. A handsome price for something to carry those baby bottles and wet wipes. This cardboard version won’t hold very much but you could put a bun in it… #hermes #janebirkin #microwave #reticule #bion #freud #cardboard #carboardart #londonart #handbags #ysl #designer #artfortoday #tote #dior #clutch #brixtonart #londongroup #artist #sculpture #cookworks #channel #containercontained #satchel#purse #minaudiere #cardboardsculpture #makeart #fashionart #artforsale (at Brixton, South London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkWYz7uIl1Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cock purse. A marriage of reciprocity where graphic cock defines container. With legend on reverse “AS GOOD AS OUR WORD”. I wonder what their word is?

A stolichnaya cardboard purse, bottle on one side and catchphrase “Whatever Drives You” on the other. Is alcohol one of your drivers? What drives Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin? What do you keep inside your purse? A foray into slightly more intimate containers with more to come. #reticule #bion #freud #cardboard #carboardart #londonart #handbags #ysl #designer #artfortoday #tote #dior #clutch #brixtonart #londongroup #artist #sculpture #pleasureprincipal #channel #containercontained #shoulderbag #satchel#purse #minaudiere #cardboardsculpture #makeart #fashionart #stoli #artforsale (at Brixton, South London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjgMSxUICm_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Launer Traviata handbag realised in cardboard with text wallpaper bought in East Street junk market. A post-Queen reappraisal of textual mapping. The relationship between carrier and carried, our projections onto the universal mother as ruler and servant. #launer #traviata #elizabethsecond #thequeen#cardboard #carboardart #londonart #handbags #ysl #designer #artfortoday #tote #dior #clutch #brixtonart #londongroup #artist #sculpture #handluggage #channel #suitcase #shoulderbag #purse #minaudiere #satchel #cardboardsculpture #makeart #fashionart #textart #artforsale (at Brixton, South London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjShZ7fsO2y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Launer Traviata handbag realised in copper effect wallpaper pasted onto cardboard. Elizabeth the seconds favourite handbag. An unintended homage as I was trying to make something bling but copper-bottomed has come to mean steadfast and reliable.
