Paper coat prototypes and samples





Mac Coat made from handmade Japanese paper from Kurotani, Japan









These coats were produced as prototypes to test the idea of repairing and replacing parts of garments. 

They were on display in the FUTURE PROTOTYPING Exhibition at the Melbourne School of Design between February and March 2020 (and for much more time while many of us worked from home).
