Rucksack Village is my exploration in backpack design. Each pack is custom made for an individual based on personality, functionality and whatever influences I have during the time I make the pack.
When I make a custom backpack, I always start with asking the customer the following:
1) What will you use the pack for?
2) What will you put inside the pack?
3) Are you right handed or left handed?
4) What colors and patterns do you like?
5) If you were an animal, which animal would you be and why?
I use the customer’s answers and whatever influences I have at the time to create the pack. A lot of times I don’t really know what the pack will look like until I finish making it and the customer won’t know what the pack will look like until they receive it.
I’m extremely grateful for all the amazing people who allowed me to make them a pack or two thus far. These packs have collectively travelled to more places than I might ever get a chance to go to, which is pretty damn cool.
