Modernized Ergonomic Sling Bags

114 Index and Sealson Create the Technical Grab Bag

— March 30, 2024 — Art & Design
114 Index works together with Sealson to create the Grab Bag, which is a technical and modern version of the iconic sling bag that thrived during the early 2000s. The ergonomic design is a new interpretation of what was popular for school kids a few decades ago.

The Grab Bag is designed for everyday wearing whether that is to stroll around the city or commute. This is conceptualized for easy movement and highlights a low profile. To create the bag, it uses recycled EcoPak, which ensures that it is water-resistant. It also features sling straps that are inspired by the running vest, optimizing comfort even when it is fully weighed down. It is detailed with the phone and storage pouch pocket for maximum function with a zipper and drawcord.
