CocolicoEach day, one green design.

Tagging this clothing is hard. Hard because it could be a media for warning people about the tons of wasted plastic bags and as well, a piece of clothing. But Triumph International Japan is clever to combine the concept of a grocery bag that no one cares about, to an intimacy that bras could represent.

At first hand, the object is designed to be used as a regular bra. When it is getting worn, the “shopping bag” portions are folded away inside the bra cups, where they serve as extra padding. The bra quickly converts to a shopping bag by removing the bag portions from the cups and connecting the hooks on the bra’s underwire. The lace cups serve as decoration along with the shoulder straps, which are disconnected and tied to the top of the bag as ribbons.

The bra is available in five bright colors. It is made from polyester fibers that come plastic bottles. (via pink tentacle)
