Ikea Upcycle Series

Upcycled Ikea Frakta bags.

Beginning with a simple tote bag, I reduced the massive size of the traditional Frakta bag to a more manageable everyday tote, complete with pockets and two pairs of straps. The next evolution, the Frakta Backpack, is inspired by the form of traditional Japanese school backpacks, with a fold over top and adjustable straps. Complete with two sides pockets, a tablet compartment, and four inner pockets, this little backpack is tribute to IKEA's versatile products.
