box. This project follows the excitement of ‘THE PASTA BAG’ from last summer, which sold out in less than a minute and has been reselling online for $1,000. As with his previous works, the
goal here ‘_is to inspire a bit of thought and reflection on being able to create something exciting from the mundane,’_ WRITES BENTEL. The product is launching for $190 as a limited
edition of 200 units. Once sold out, the designer won’t be making new ones. The Shipping Box Bag LIMITED-EDITION, VEGAN LEATHER HANDBAG LAUNCHING ON JULY 10 Bentel (see more HERE) came up
