The Eleven Brothers bag design inspires and draws attention. This bag is different. This bag is extraordinary. It is even produced in a different way.

Eleven Brothers bag is produced from 324 identical rhombus-shaped elements cut from high-quality leather. The bag's handles are carved from an oak wood by a sculptor-artist. The bag is completely hand-made. Natural colors complete its composition. The name Eleven Brothers comes from a fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen entitled „Wild Swans” and serves as invitation to ponder over the fast pace of life and the increasing value of rare moments of peace and relaxation. In the future, we will supplement the Eleven Brothers bag with a range of lively colors and new patterns.

The product comes with Hedoco certificate.

From the very beginning, the key factor in our communication with the creators of Eleven Brothers bag, members of Knockoutdesign – was to allow users to make such a bag themselves under Creative Commons licenses. In a nutshell: DIY which is free and legal. — Hedoco



Overview

The Eleven Brothers Bag was designed by Knockoutdesign group and produced by Hedoco.

Knockoutdesign studio was founded in 2006. The basic premise of studio's activity is collective work of an interdisciplinary team, which allows combining the areas of product and exhibition space design with graphic design.

Hedoco is a new brand created in 2011 and owned by Modern Arts Management, Ltd, operating in the stream of open design. It comprises unique, high-quality products designed by young Polish artists and designers. Hedoco plans to introduce subsequent new products throughout the first half of 2012. These include e.g. unique fashion collections and new bag designs.
