ARIA MCMANUS CREATION

"Bodega Bag" -- a postmodern bag combining an actual corner store plastic bag with an elegant, high quality chain. This simple concept represents a play on conventional purses by using an everyday material reinvented as a highly practical and savvy carrier.

The bag is attached to a high quality, nickel-plated steel chain. Designed for everyday use, purchase comes with a set of 10 reusable, interchangeable plastic bags in various colors.

The bag's design received 2nd place honors at the American Design Club Raw & Unfiltered show.
