MEANDER is a flexible bag that you can take with you on the go. It transforms to fit the needs of your adventure, big or small. The zero-waste design features a gathered bottom that can be cinched to create a smaller bag or expanded to full capacity. It has two size options, each with a different closure.

With a background in architecture and lighting design, Emily Klug enjoys the challenge of designing zero-waste garments and accessories. With every design, Emily strives to create sewing patterns that not only reduce fabric waste and consumption but also present an exciting project for the maker. Her sewing pattern brand is called Goldfinch Textile Studio.

Fabric recommendations:
Select a medium-weight woven fabric (6–9 oz/200–305 gsm) with a bit of structure: cotton or nylon ripstop, cotton canvas, twill, or denim. If you are using heavy fabric for the main body of the bag, use a lightweight fabric for the lining. The blue sample (View A) is made from cotton gabardine in the colour “China Blue” (7.67 oz/260 gsm) by Un chat sur un fil. The denim sample (View B) is made from “Japanese Organic Mid Wash Denim” (11.2 oz/374 gsm) by Merchant & Mills.
