Alexander Wang and Samsung Crowdsource Inspiration for Design of Bag
By SENATUS News | 21 August 2013

Alexander Wang has collaborated with Samsung to launch a special new lambskin bag which crowdsourced the ‘collective inspiration’ of a select group of Samsung smartphone users for the creation. Called the ‘Wallie’, the gym sac has a drawstring closure, reinforced leather corners, and a black and gray print on the lambskin finish.

The bag’s abstract print was produced by Wang by combining different images (photos, doodles, patterns) created using Samsung’s Galaxy Note II smartphones by a group of his close friends, stylists, photographers, and others.

“The abstract print really captures the energy of New York City,” the designer explained. “This collaboration is a great example of how technology and style can come together in an unexpected but really meaningful way.”

The bag is available in select locations from this month, and proceeds from the sale of the $550 bag will go towards the Art Start charity, which funds art programs for children and young people.
