Sakina M’Sa x PUMA Grip Bag

As an hommage to French workers, designer Sakina M’sa partners with Puma to bring a slick bright blue grip bag made from re-purposed workers overalls:

Designer Sakina M’Sa has unveiled a version of Puma’s Grip Bag made from recycled blue workers’ overalls that is being launched in a limited edition of 100 worldwide. Paris concept store Merci, which hosted a brunch today to celebrate the launch, will sell 10 of the bags priced at 350 euros, or $475 at current exchange. “I was interested in telling our story through this bag,” said M’Sa, whose company offers work opportunities for the long-term unemployed. The designer, who was born in the Comoros Islands and moved to France as a young girl, was one of three recipients of the Social Entrepreneurs Awards handed out by parent company PPR’s Foundation for Women’s Dignity and Rights in 2010.
