Conceptual Foundation — the creation of a summer accessory—a bag—inspired by the organic forms of coral. The project addresses the aesthetic challenge of selecting evening and everyday accessories for the resort season, where classic leather bags in dark or neutral tones appear too heavy and clash with the relaxed atmosphere of the coast.

4. Relevance and Target Audience:Where to wear: Seaside resorts, summer festivals, conceptual exhibitions, and evening coastal outings. Emotional Impression: The accessory declares itself as a standalone art object. It creates an atmosphere of intellectual summer, commands attention, and underscores the owner’s individuality.

Base (Acrylic plaster / Eco-resin / Jesmonite): This is the optimal material for creating a complex coral-like texture for the bag. It allows the piece to be lightweight, impact-resistant, and durable against external forces while maintaining a noble matte finish.Hardware and fastenings: A contrasting cord in a deep navy (nearly black) color. The cord does more than just secure the object along the sides; it compositionally weaves through the natural apertures of the coral body, integrating the textile element into the sculpture’s very structure.Reverse side (Ergonomics): The flat back of the bag features an integrated textile pocket made from dense premium cotton, linen, or fine leather. This solves a functional requirement—securely storing a phone, cards, and keys—and ensures comfort when held against the body.

The combination of the coral’s complex, biomorphic form with the utilitarian, rugged dark blue cord creates a unique eclectic character:• On one hand, it is a romantic, natural image—a maritime atmosphere. • On the other hand, due to the dynamic fastening of the cord, the accessory acquires a timely resonance in the spirit of street style. This deconstructs the classic evening bag: it becomes bolder, more contemporary, and fits seamlessly into both a relaxed beach look and a conceptual urban outfit.

For secure fastening of the bag’s interior pocket, we propose creating a specialized support rim made from acrylic plaster. This rim will be positioned along the bottom contour of the pocket, mirroring its shape, and will serve as an additional support for phones and other items. The rim will feature rounded edges with smooth transitions, allowing it to integrate organically into the bag’s sculptural design. Its primary function is to support the lower section of the pocket, preventing the fabric from sagging under the weight of its contents.For added robustness, the fabric pocket will be fitted with a reinforcing tape, which will distribute the load across the attachment area. The upper and side sections of the pocket will be additionally secured to reduce the risk of fabric detachment during use.
