Substantielles Minimum goes Fairnopoly

I just put my first article on the new platform/online store Fairnopoly.

It's cooperatively organised, there's no fee for posting articles and 1% of each sold item is donated to initiatives that fight against corruption. Besides they donate part of their profit to non-profit organizations and support fair and sustainable products with better advertisement and less fees.
AND you can use the platform to give away things too.
Sounds a bit over the top almost.. But if you wanna buy something online, Fairnopoly beats the rest!

New Items Part II

New Items on Etsy

I just posted two new items. More will follow soon.
Check them out here:

 SCHUPTA-K

SCHUPTA-L

#9 SCHUPTA-L Bag with Integrated Charging Cable

I found out that my camera's charging cable has the perfect length to make a shoulder strap for a SCHUPTA bag made from shoulder pads. The camera fits in the bag perfectly too.

To charge it, you just have to connect the camera to one end of the cable and pull out the other end to connect it to the computer / outlet.
It must feel like pulling yourself up by your bootstraps in a way.
This works for mobile phones or mp3 players too of course. If you have a device you want such a bag for, then I'll be glad to make that for you. Just give me the measurements of the charging cable first, so we can figure out how it works.

#8 MATA-V Hairband / Belt Made From Sleeves

Here are two examples of MATA-V. The former sleeves are joined by the cuffs. Then the cuffs are closed on the sides to make a bag about the size of a tobacco bag.

MATA-V can be worn as a belt including a belt bag. It can also be worn as a hairband, or any other way you can think of.

#7 BRAG Shoulder Bag

 

This here fellow is made from an old bra which gives it a nice spherical shape and a sensual touch.

Bras come in so many shapes, colors, patterns and sizes that they offer innumerable possibilities for reuse.

Please Send me Pictures for THE ARCHIVE OF THE LIBERATED CLOTHES

Here's the plan.
I would like to have a memory of the clothes I make, since most of the materials are truly unique and so are the resulting items. That makes it hard for me to part from them, so I'm trying to collect pictures of them in their new homes.

Consti with RENG in Shanghai

I wanna do that for the next couple of years and I bet it will become a wonderful mosaic of people, colors, places and clothes.
So if you happen to own one of my pieces, please send me a picture! Wear it wherever you like, however you like. Come as you are.
Please let me know if you allow me to publish your picture in the future. I won't publish anything without your permission.
For now it's just a private recollection of vanishing memories..
