Sometimes we see designs that are just so darn adorable we can’t even believe they’re real. The Teabag Collection is one of those designs. Designed by KOREFE. Kolle Rebbe Form und Entwicklung, they look like actual handbags and even come packaged in their own tiny shopping bag. We spoke with Christian Doering at KOREFE to learn more about collaborating with a fashion designer, showcasing work at Fashion Week, merging unconventional designs with ordinary products, and more.

KOREFE: The concept for The Teabag Collection was developed by myself in Autumn 2016 in the Design Studio KOREFE, Kolle Rebbe Form und Entwicklung in Hamburg—

for the customer Hälssen & Lyon. Straight away I knew that only one designer could be in charge of this collection—Ayzit Bostan. Ayzit is one of the most talented bag designers from Germany.

Her work for The Dieline is a constant journey to deeply understand all facets of the design process and to investigate what makes designers tick. Theresa’s writing has taken her snorkeling in between the tectonic plates in Iceland, horseback riding through a rural Brazilian town, and riding an octopus art car at Burning Man with Susan Sarandon as part of a funeral procession for Timothy Leary (long story). When not writing, she is planning her next trip or taking too many pictures of her cat.
