The Bulky Body Belt is a wearable toolkit uniquely designed for the kick-off of the Vlisco&co print workshop.
13 Toolkits in 3 colorways have been sent to the selected participants in Accra, Cotonou, Abidjan, Lomé, Lagos and Kinshasa. This toolkit contains a variety of tools and art supplies which form the inspirational start of the design process. The tools can be stored in attachable boxy bags and flashy shapes. Semi transparent materials give a sneekpeek of the creative mindset of the wearer, and become an ever changing pattern on the body.
We know that every design project can be different, with different tools needed at hand. We designed the Bulky Body Belt in such a way that it has a flexible use for it’s wearer. In addition to the big pockets in the vest, 11 custom bags can be attached to a multitude of loops on the semi transparent body, creating a personalised toolkit for the design process.
Bags shown here include: the Tube Bag, the Ruler Bag, the Paint Bottle Bag, the Poncho Bag and the A4 Bag. The loops on the vest can also be used to store tools such as pencils, markers and brushes.
