CAIRO FREQUENCY COLLECTION

(BLACK)

STORY / There was a time when a television signal wasn’t perfect. It shimmered, glitched, fragmented into bars and frequencies before finding clarity. This collection captures that fleeting moment where distortion becomes beauty, and imperfection becomes identity.

Handwoven in Egypt from reclaimed plastic, each bag transforms discarded material into a durable textile that is both tactile and graphic. Inspired by the visual rhythm of Cairo’s streets, where layers, movement, and organized chaos pulse together like overlapping frequencies, forming a visual language all their own, the woven patterns create optical illusions that shift with movement, echoing analog screens, architectural grids, and the city’s unmistakable geometry.

The result is a collection that exists between craft and technology, heritage and modernity, memory and innovation. Every line is woven by hand. Every pattern carries the precision of Egyptian artisan craftsmanship while speaking the bold graphic language of digital culture where weaving becomes a visual code, and craft becomes communication.

The signature strap   —“I USED TO BE A PLASTIC BAG”—, doesn’t erase the material’s past; it broadcasts its transformation. Waste becomes resource. Plastic becomes textile. Heritage becomes future.

This is a collection about seeing value differently.
About finding signal in the noise.
About turning craft into communication.
About weaving a new future from what was left behind.

Dimensions: 42W X 34H X 13D cm
