# Aged Leather Transformer Bags Ante Kovac's Iron Age Fashion By Nata Zaharova | Published 2008-07-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bante-kovac-transformer-bag References: [community.livejournal](http://community.livejournal.com/mybags/39359.html) & [mybags.ru](http://mybags.ru/index.php?/site/comments/ante_kovac/) Ante Kovac created these great [transformer bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercurius), creating a style I like to call Iron Age Fashion, under the trend heading, "back to roots". I liked the Russian designer's idea to use [old, aged leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-kennedy-king-duffle) in composed, independent fragments. The bags are worn together, separately, or in unique combinations with each other. Ante Covac considers his idea innovative and even patented it. You will be surprised to discover that Ante Covac is a young, handsome man who is addicted to [women's accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topologie-1).
