At the heart of this story is the journey; the journey of Wainwright and the journey of the bag from start to finish, interwoven through arresting visuals and storytelling. Capturing that story across the product and campaign material meant bringing in true craftspeople from Illustrators to wordsmith, sympathetic to the way Wainwright himself produced his work. Every detail counted.
From concept, product development, to content and creativity, I took this project from a simple idea to a masterpiece of modern craftsmanship.
