“Create value through scarcity.”
What you are looking at is not just a bag, but the outcome of a collective process shaped by real use, conversation, and shared experience. This piece, originally developed under Nike SB, carries with it the imprint of a culture that prioritizes function, movement, and authenticity. Every decision in its design was informed by skateboarders and skate enthusiasts who understand what it means to carry something daily, to move with it, to rely on it without thinking twice. Their feedback pushed this bag beyond aesthetics into something more deliberate, something built with purpose.
It reflects a moment in time when function and culture were more closely aligned, before everything became overproduced and overexposed. Its structure, its layout, even its wear patterns speak to a period in the mid 2010s when design was still driven by necessity and subculture rather than mass appeal. Over time, pieces like this quietly disappeared, not because they lacked value, but because they were never made to exist in excess.
Scarcity here is not artificial. It is a byproduct of intention. Fewer pieces, more meaning. What remains carries weight because it cannot be easily replicated. This bag stands as a reminder that the strongest designs are not just created, they are shaped by the people who use them and the environments they move through.

Community over engagement.
Engagement is attention. Community is commitment. That distinction is the difference between something that trends and something that lasts.
Engagement measures reaction. It is fast, visible, and often shallow. A like, a share, a comment. It signals interest, but not investment. It can be bought, gamed, or lost overnight because it depends on constant stimulation. Engagement is tied to platforms and algorithms, which means it is fragile. When the system changes, the attention disappears with it.
Community operates on a different level. It is built on participation, trust, and shared ownership. People in a community do not just consume the work, they contribute to its meaning. They wear it, reinterpret it, talk about it offline, pass it on, and defend it. Community is slower to build, but once it exists, it is far more stable because it lives beyond any single platform or moment.
Engagement asks, “Did people notice?”
Community asks, “Did people stay?”

"The Briella" - A Grocery Tote
“The Briella Grocery Tote” is a solution to the plastic bag usage in America.
“The Briella Grocery Tote” is a direct response to disposable culture in America. A familiar silhouette reimagined through upcycled textiles, giving new life to materials once overlooked. What was once single use becomes essential.
Reversible and seamless in construction, the tote moves between identities, from delicate lace to rugged outdoor camo, without losing its form or function. Lightweight, durable, and intentionally minimal, it mirrors the ease of the classic grocery bag while elevating it into something permanent.
This bag does not just carry, it adapts.
From corner store runs to daily movement.
From function to statement.
Not disposable. Not replaceable. Just redefined.

“The Stories of Ricky”
Every family in the hood has a Ricky.
The one people believe will break the generational curse.
The one carrying more than his own future.
Description:
DenimDiet is a continuous collection built on the idea of denim as a vessel. Each piece lives through it. In this chapter, selvedge denim becomes the foundation, highlighting the intersection of sportswear and workwear. Strength meets movement. Labor meets identity.
“The Stories of Ricky” is inspired by @_shon10 , my older brother, and our shared experience growing up in the hood.
It reflects pressure and expectations.
It is about what it means to be chosen, and what it costs to carry that role.

Tire Belt No. 1 -
Humans generate over 2 billion tons of solid waste each year worldwide. Rubber accounts for roughly 2 to 5 percent of that total, equal to tens of millions of tons annually.
Most rubber waste comes from tires, along with industrial rubber products, footwear, and everyday consumer goods.

Skateboarders, this one is for you.
This bag didn’t start in a studio.
It started in the comments of a @levelthirteenthirteen post about a @nikesb that has been sense discontinued.
A single response under a post about a discontinued Nike SB turned into a conversation. That conversation turned into momentum. And that momentum turned into this.
Built directly from feedback, ideas, and real input from the community this piece is not just inspired by skate culture, it’s shaped by it.
This is the first fully functional prototype.
Tested. Refined. Ready for production.
Now we take the next step.
This is a pre-order.
Your support is what moves this from prototype to reality.
If you were part of that moment or if you understand what it means to build something from nothing, this is your chance to be part of it.
No mass production. No shortcuts.
Just intention, function, and culture stitched together.
Let’s bring it to life.

Making this reel has been a long time coming.
Vidalia Mills closing is more than the loss of a textile mill. It’s the loss of a piece of regional infrastructure that once connected farmers, makers, and designers through a shared material economy.
For generations, cotton grown in the South could be spun, woven, and finished close to where it was harvested. That proximity mattered. It meant transparency. It meant accountability. It meant that the people who grew the fiber, the people who milled it, and the people who turned it into garments were part of the same community.
In today’s fashion industry, most textiles travel thousands of miles before they reach the cutting table. Supply chains are fragmented, anonymous, and increasingly disconnected from the places where clothing is actually worn and valued. When a mill like Vidalia closes, we lose more than production capacity. We lose knowledge, craft, and the possibility of building fashion systems that are rooted in place.
Locally sourced textiles allow communities to retain economic value, reduce environmental impact, and preserve the skills required to make things well. They also allow designers to tell stories that are grounded in the land and the people who work it.
The future of fashion cannot rely entirely on distant supply chains. If we want a system that is sustainable, resilient, and culturally meaningful, we have to support the infrastructure that makes local production possible.
Vidalia Mills represented one of those rare connections between agriculture, industry, and design in the American South. Its closing should be a reminder of how fragile these systems are and how important it is to protect what remains. Buy local, Buy Made In the US.

📡missed your chance to see our Jan/Feb exhibitions? Check out the virtual tour of the exhibitions by @matterportmedia anytime on Antennas blog TRANSMISSIONS alongside interviews with the exhibiting artists! Currently shown is “A Problem of State” by @himstudios.live
📡ABOUT THE EXHIBITION: A Problem of State represents one chapter within the larger Denim Diet collection. It reflects on the current condition of the fashion industry, its workforce and the political climate that shapes it. The collection examines consumerism through the use of dead stock selvedge denim sourced from Vidalia Mills in Vidalia, Louisiana a once vital American denim producer that closed in late 2024. By working with these remaining materials the project captures a moment of transition, loss and reflection within the industry.
