Collection: SHELL BOUND

SHELLBOUND

Utility Bag Collection

SHELLBOUND is built on the cowrie shell — once used as currency across West Africa — a symbol of value, protection, and systems that worked long before modern banks.

These utility bags translate that symbol into a modern code. Clean forms. Repeating marks. Central eyes. Designed to feel familiar and sharp at the same time.

The influence runs through anime logic — icons, power states, final forms — where meaning is carried through symbols, not speeches. At the same time, the bags stay grounded in Detroit reality: functional, direct, built for everyday pressure.

Nothing here is decorative.
Every pattern means something.
Every name signals a state.

These bags are meant to break routine — at work, in the city, in motion — without turning into costume. Utility first. Signal always on.

Shellbound isn’t about nostalgia or fantasy.
It’s about carrying value in plain sight.
