Verdeq is a small business manufacturing bags from off-cuts from the production of cabriolet tops. Looking through the material stock at the workshop I sighted two different cut-outs of rear windows that could be put together with just a few simple seams to create a perfect tote bag: SOFTOTE.
By keeping the cut-out’s beautifully rounded and asymmetrical shapes, the bag still reveals the story of its industrial origin.

For Verdeq, Konstantin Grcic celebrates cheer- and playfulness by combining two window cut-out forms into a tote-bag as simple as it is joyful.
The two core elements of his creation, fabric from soft-top car-hoods and the designstatement of the tote-bag, combine to lend the bag it’s name; SOFTOTE.
With their raw, untreated edge, the cut-out forms are brought together in a straight forward way, revealing the story of their industrial origin.
Verdeq is thrilled to collaborate with Konstantin Grcic. His design of the SOFTOTE became a one pure yet strong statement.
