From Clay to Bag: A Creative Journey of The Miro Bag
There’s a quiet magic that happens when your hands meet clay for the first time. As I stood in front of the potter’s wheel, feeling the cool, damp clay between my fingers, I realized that what I was shaping wasn’t just pottery—it was the inspiration for our latest collection.
It all started with a small accident. As the wheel spun, my hands lost control for a split second, and the clay warped unexpectedly, forming an uneven curve. I was about to smooth it out when it hit me—a bag could take shape like this too. The idea of embracing imperfections, of capturing the organic flow of the material, planted itself firmly in my mind.
Suddenly, a vision appeared: the clay wasn’t just a vase anymore, it was a bag—a soft, curved structure, effortlessly elegant but uniquely shaped by its maker. I imagined our bags transforming in a similar way, not just as accessories, but as wearable pieces of art.
As the clay continued to spin and twist, I couldn’t help but let my mind wander. What if a bag could move like this? What if the material could curve and fold, as though shaped by the hands of a potter? I could almost see the soft edges of the bag forming right there in front of me. And as I watched the clay take on a life of its own, I knew this was the direction for our new collection.
But as with all great stories, there was a twist. In the middle of shaping a challenging piece, the clay collapsed. It was frustrating, but also enlightening. Sometimes, the unexpected reveals the true beauty. This moment reminded me that our bags could reflect the same philosophy—embracing imperfections and evolving through the process.
This collection isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about transformation. Each curve and detail mirrors the unpredictable nature of clay and the journey of creation. Like a handcrafted vase, each bag tells its own story—one of patience, creativity, and the beauty in imperfections.
As you carry a piece from this collection, may it remind you to embrace life’s twists, find beauty in the process, and carry your own story with you.
