Transforming Comfort Bag as Coat

The original idea of the work comes from the feeling when people wrap their pillows while sleeping, in this way people seem to obtain a comfortable, relaxed and relieved emotion. In the design combination of cloth, cotton, and leather treatment are used. I have created another wearable 'pillow' through its softness and comfortable surface. The primary material I choose is organic instead of leather which would cause killing the animal. And recycled cotton from pillows, it also takes advantage of things which would throw away into a useful and functional bag which is also great for traveling.
