A Collaboration by Nik Bentel Studio + Shopify

The Shipping Strap Bag

We reimagined the shipping strap as a handbag. And of course it needed a charm.

Behind the Project:

Making The Shipping Strap Bag

The Shipping Strap Bag was created in collaboration with the wonderful team at Shopify. We began in 2024 and took two years to perfect the handbag and its mini charm.

Rethinking objects in our everyday life to create something fun and unexpected, we loved our use of rugged industrial shipping straps. The bright yellow color paired perfectly with Shopify's green, and provides the same strength and stability that shipping straps are known for.

We knew the bag was incomplete without a little something extra, the Shipping Container Charm. A simple "honey I shrunk the container" and our little charm was born.
