The warps of these handwoven fabrics, made from wool and linen threads, are dyed with a gradient following the ikat technique. When washed, the woven fabric changes: woollen yarn shrinks while linen does not. The result is a three-dimensional surface. Merle Suurkask drew inspiration for these fabrics from the first frosty mornings in October, with little light, no leaves, but branches and pure white delicate ice.

The front of each of these bags is handwoven. The linen warps of the fabric are dyed with a gradient following the ikat technique. The bags are made from waterproof furniture fabric with nylon lining in the inside pockets. Each bag is a little different. Merle Suurkask drew inspiration for the bags from the imagery of a snow-free garden in January: black, lifeless but at the same time graphic and beautiful when viewed longer. A hidden beauty that opens up when you look closely.
