Bolsa Cross-body Bag: Agarwood-Inspired product by exploring agarwood material as an alternative material on wearable products

Abstract

BOLSA is a cross-body bag developed to include simplicity, portability, flexibility, easy-to-carry, parametric wood textures, and compatibility with users of all ages. The industry's current challenge is to improve and innovate the uses of Agarwood. Currently, agarwood products available in the market are just the "tip of the iceberg" and only focus on being used in incense and perfume, and are very limited in small carvings. The solution to this problem is to explore the durability and flexibility of Agarwood and a possible way to commercialise agarwood material as an alternative material for wearable products.
