Let's Build A Home / The White Stripes / De Stijl

Who doesn't know Piet Mondriaan? As one of the De Stijl pioneers, this Dutch artist had contributed in the development of modern art—particularly the minimalism style. Based on that style, OJA tries to explore the advantages of plastic bag as a material with Mondriaan ‘rules’: abstract shapes and simple, clean colors. The title of this fresh, colorful collection is Manhattaan.

Unique color compositions and playful vertical and horizontal strokes are the strong points of this 16 cm x 30 cm clutch bag. Yes, Manhttaan utilizes discarded (colorful) plastic bags as its basic material. For the lining, OJA chooses fabrics with geometrical and abstract patterns such as polka dot, houndstooth, and other adorable motifs.

A Piece of Art in Your Palm

What makes it more special, all of the Manhattaan clutch bags are unique. No two are the same because the plastic motif for each clutch bag is specially designed and done by hand. That’s why, just like a painting, every piece in Manhattaan collection is highly exclusive.

The complete collection can be purchased online at http://www.facebook.com/ojamantra starting tomorrow: January 28th, 2013.

So, are you cool enough to be fashionably and environmentally responsible with Manhattaan?

Enjoy! XXX
