Creativity comes in all shapes and sizes, and today it’s in the form of a surprisingly stylish jacket made from nothing but reusable shopping bags.
A true fan of Shelflife by the name of Dillon Abrahams (@extracream_ on Instagram) has constructed a jacket, using Shelflife’s shopping bags that were piling up in the corner of his room.
“I thought the 10-year anniversary collabs were major steps for the Shelflife brand being cemented in the culture and organically giving hope to local creative-hopefuls as myself to knock on doors of major companies with an idea and a pocket full of air.”
Sharing how the jacket came about [via shelflife]:
“There were many things contributing to the birth of the jacket. Most of them being: The 10 year anniversary Shelflife collabs, the procrastination for cleaning up my room and being annoyed by ‘’sneaker connoisseurs’’ who were being mean school girls. Eventually, I scrubbed my room clean and tidied up my shoe boxes only to be surprised by how many cozy homes I’ve created for, four-legged creatures… Nevertheless, I tossed them out and found the Midas pile of tot-bag hoarding. I’ve always low-key obsessed about having my own clothing label, and were always perplexed as to how to take the 1st step – at that moment is when the idea was conceived. I didn’t have any patterns or idea where to begin with the overall style of the jacket. However, I was inspired by the current tracksuit craze and began the concoction of the jacket as I went along and hope it would stand out to fans more cultured to the Shelflife brand. The reflective detailing was inspired by the AM97 Silverbullet sneaker and somewhat a coupling the Shelflife jacket itself.”
The jacket features panel work and stitching detail, with shelflife branding throughout and stitched patch-like branding on the collars and the cuffs. Additional elements to the jacket include adidas originals, Nike and New Balance tags.
If this Jacket was to drop, would you cop?
