Scope and content
Bag in the form of a pillow or cushion embellished with machine embroidery. It has a brass coloured metal handle and tassels from each corner. Part of look 5 outfit from James's graduate collection.
James made this scatter cushion from waterproofed canvas weave nylon in forest green donated to him by Barghaus from their bags department. The nylon was embroidered with multi tone gold thread, isolating some of the hand drawn camouflage work on the jacket. The bag defies function as an object to carry something, despite having a big brass handle. It is piped with fully reflective piping. It is finished at each of it’s four corners with a selection of handmade nylon tassels made from the offcuts of the collection fabrics.

Adam Marc James press release, 2014:
The Dancing Marquis Collection, Autumn Winter 2014
'Loosely based on the life of Henry Paget, the 5th Marquis of Anglesey, the collection re-imagines the Marquis as a 21st century man. The collection draws on the merging of soft loungewear separates with the security of high performance sportswear as he walks from his bed directly to the English countryside in the dead of night, plagued by his inability to sleep....In 1890 Henry Paget, the 5th Marquis of Anglesey, nicknamed 'Toppy' inherited his title and the family estates between Staffordshire, Dorset, Anglesey and Derbyshire.'
