Collina Strada has created an eco-conscious Fall 2009 collection from printed organic canvases and vegetable dyed leather. I´m glad that she states on her website that Margiela (among others) inspires her as The Ferra bag looks very much like A Margiela. But it´s all good. This is what I´ve been talking about. Find something what you like and make the design your own, in this case from your fav designer bag in eco leather. I´d just love to know if Maison Martin Margiela feels the same way as this designer is not exactly smalltime-Etsy-home crafter...

I actually think that mentioning Margiela isnt enough if you are going to make what looks like a carbon copy of his bag. Also I think its quite revealing that all her influences are designers.
