HANDRECYCLED IN VENICE · SINCE 2014

IT WAS A SOCCER BALL.

PANGAEA Round Bag is a handcrafted sculpture bag conceived and personally made by Thomas Backinmind in Stra, near Venice.

The panels of each reclaimed soccer ball are transformed by hand and rebuilt with hand-colored natural leather. Every PANGAEA is one of a kind.

ONE CREATOR. NO REPLICAS.

The luxury of choosing something that did not exist before.

Every soccer ball carries its own marks, imperfections, and energy. Taken apart into its original panels, it is transformed and rebuilt with hand-colored natural leather. The result does not conceal the material’s previous life: it makes it precious.
