Conphorm Bags by Ted Cahill
This new anthropomorphic accessory by Conphorm is in keeping with the California-based company's mission to reveal the "inherent relationships between structure and function." Constructed of pressed felt made from excess factory material (mostly wool), the "Carry" bag lays completely flat when unzipped for easy storage and dry cleaning, and when zipped it turns into a smiling face with numerous possible functions. Available with orange or blue zippers for $95 from Orange Button.
