After working as an accessory design intern, I gained insight into the wasteful nature of the fashion industry, from both an industrial and consumer standpoint.

Each eason, thousands of products are designed, produced, and sold, just to be thrown out the next season. These are high quality products made from fine leather and durable hardware, that are made to last a lifetime. However, customers desire new products to keep up with emerging trends and simply have a consumerist mindset that makes them want to constantly buy new things.  

​

I.L.L is an accessory brand system made from 100% recycled materials as to not add new waste into the world. Products are modular and fully adjustable as to be able to grow with the users and adjust to new trends/seasons. Products are designed to encourage craftsmanship by allowing the user to customize their hardware and threading on their products.
