TAMI Tote

Designed for TAUKO Magazine Issue No. 18, the TAMI Tote combines origami-inspired folds with thoughtful everyday functionality. Sculptural folds create concealed slip pockets, while the side panels can be pulled inwards with a drawstring and cord stopper to transform the silhouette from spacious tote to a more compact shape.
