In Line With the World, or in danish I Tråd Med Verden, is a social enterprise, working with immigrant women in Copenhagen. From their country of origin, ethnic minority women often have knowledge of culture specific craft traditions within areas such as dyeing techniques, embroidery, weaving and crochet. ILLW gives a chance to these women to create their own products, be a part of a united group, while in parallel feel unique and useful. In Line With the World project was our final project and, in my opinion, the most interesting! I created a collection of bags inspired by the traditional handcrafts techniques I learned from the women at ITMV. The final collection of the ITMV bags, consisted by an Laptop case, an iPad case, a purse, a wallet, a roll bag and a back pack bag! | What did I really gain from this project?
