The Story of JU-WE-Bag: “Life is too short to wear boring bags or mainstream jewelry” CVLTARTES

The JU-WE-Bag is an entirely slow fashion item. It’s not just a bag, in the mainstream meaning of a bag, it’s a little work of art wearable as a bag.

The first outrageous thing is that JU-WE comes from the unexpected collision of two lives, the meeting between two artists that have complementary directions. Adina Grapa, the mother of WareWareWaistBags, is in love with Romanian traditional style, minimal lines, leather and colors. Maria Dima, the creator behind UndeJewelry, has a goth-punk approach, combining unexpected elements in resin and silver to create statement jewelry. So we have a great collaboration between two beautiful and different souls that found a common ground and made a fantastic product despite all the style differences.

“At the beginning it was like a game, what it should be like to put jewelry on a bag, like really fix it on the bag or maybe just make it a crazy-precious accessory. We were amazed by the beauty of our intersection so we decided to create a unique capsule of JU-WE-BAGS. Each one is different, each one is made from the best leather, in beautiful colors, and at the end comes, like a crown, the jewelry. The jewelry is handcrafted in silver and resin, using the lost wax technique for constructing the silver part, and 3D print or real human parts for the resin element, a creation process that takes up to 3 weeks.

As you see, the second extraordinary thing about the JU-WE-Bag is its completely uniqueness, because each one will have a different element on it that you can also customize on demand. For now, it can be a heart, a nose, a brain, and other elements to come,” says Maria Dima.

“The custom order will be honored as it enters in our queue and may take longer, depending on our load at that moment. A custom order implies that you will be involved in the process, that you will communicate with us in the creation process so that we can deliver you the JU-WE as you imagine it. Take into consideration that the product is fully handcrafted and the elements may be perfect or have their personality. As it is an artistic work, we reserve the rights to select our clients and to refuse orders that are not in our direction. So the third thing about JU-WE that we like to mention is that you can make one on custom order, from “head” to leather, entirely yours,” Maria Dima adds.
