Adam Marc James Cushion Bag with Tassels
2016.311 · Item · 2014
Part of Westminster Menswear Archive

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.
