Zero waste Bags and Patterns for baguettes
Bag.uettes

Why carry a baguette under your arm when you can wear a bag like this?
Bag.uettes are unique bags designed according to the objects carried.
On the website you find: one-of-a-kind bags, bag patterns and kits to make your own.
Carly Dean, the bag.uettes founder, moved from New York to Switzerland in 2018 and had to trade her bagel consumption habit for a baguette one. Hence the idea of creating a perfect “baguette bag”. She started from zero, she bought a sewing machine and threw herself into this new adventure.
Using the baguettes as a model, her only constraint was their size & shape, but otherwise, the keyword was experimentation.
If you think about it, baguettes, wine bottles, rolled-up drawings, flowers, umbrellas, mat strap, etc. aren’t compatible with the ubiquitous and generic tote bag. Why not having a bag that embraces these specific proportions?
This was the question that brought Carly on the bag.uettes adventure!
“An unexpected joy is seeing bag.uettes used to hold other things! I’ve seen them used for stacked fruit from a farmers market, stacked beers cans to go to a party, a wine bottle, an umbrella…”
Carly Dean – founder of bag.uettes
Each creation explores in an innovative way new materials and sewing techniques. As an architect, Carly applied the same principles of building construction to the bag sketch. Among her creations, there are interesting concepts in terms of how the bag is made, as “One long strap” and “65 circles”. In other cases, bags are born by scaling down an architectural principle or system: “Muzzle” takes inspiration from an exoskeleton structural system or “Twist” that traces a louvred facade.

And you know the best thing? All bags are zero waste, meaning each one begins as one rectangular piece of fabric and is constructed without producing scraps! Great, isn’t it?
