You might have seen the Um Tote that was designed back in 2005 that took a single piece of industrial felt and zipped its way into a bag. Actual, led by Josh Jakus, has released their latest design, the UM Pack, which is larger than the Tote and comes complete with a shoulder strap and side pockets.
The concept remains the same – the ability to create a container using one piece of felt and a zipper. The design lays flat when not zipped up making it easy to travel with.

Hi-
I wish you would not support Josh Jakus by promoting his UM bags.
I first designed the technique in 1997 and still use it. I hoped he would give up and dream something of his own. He is very annoying.
He used to lie and say they were recycled, but industrial felt is made of 98% virgin fibers. He still lies and says he designed the patterns. He just changed them a little.
Thank you

It is nice design. Felt can be used in different colors.
