Inspired by CHAT’s special display ‘Patternways: Visualising Hong Kong in Transition’, this utility pouch reinvigorates a traditional weaving design courtesy of graphic designer John Wu and found in the archives of Mayar Silk Mills, Hong Kong’s first silk weaving factory. Working with a local label-weaving factory, the original pattern was recolourised and jacquard-woven, then assembled into a utility pouch.
The recreation of the design and its weaving process through a label-making factory, an industry with roots in silk weaving, recounts an important but often overlooked story of Hong Kong’s silk industry. This multipurpose pouch is a fun yet educational lifestyle product for textile-lovers and trend-makers alike.
Size: 28cm(L) x 35cm(H) x 7cm (W)
