Lottery: Extraordinary Artistic Bags from LOQI
Maybe some of you know them from the museum stores, or others have wondered about their friend's new trendy accessory. This brand seems to be everywhere in the world, because LOQI has established itself in our lives with high quality and beautifully printed bags. Whether classic, modern or contemporary, LOQI collected an enormous amount of the world’s most beautiful artwork for his prints. By finding new designs they don’t hesitate to climb the Romanian mountains, or to stumble through the streets of Tokyo, or to get lost in London and buzzed in Berlin. They would just do about anything to hunt down a LOQI artist.
After collabs with the renowned Sagmeister & Walsh, Alex Trochut, as well as Jean-Michel Basquiat, we are happy to offer you some of their bags in a lottery! Don’t miss the chance to have your own LOQI bag, because they are not only super strong, durable, water resistant, but also extremely good looking. Belinda Klaes is the founder of Loqi, she answered a few questions about the brand:
Where does the name LOQI come from? What does it mean?
Our brand name combines Latin and Chinese to symbolize our close ties between our global partners the East and West. It is a combination of Loci, which is Latin for location and Qi, which is Chinese for air and life energy.
How would you describe the DNA of your bags?
I love the simplicity of the LOQI products: it’s the core of the business. The cultural world is an endless source of possibilities and collaborations for us as a brand. It sparks our imagination and curiosity. We want to inspire the LOQI community to spread the word for art and foster culture in their lives.
How many different bags does LOQI currently offer?
200 designs.
Do you have a favorite bag yourself and if so, which one and why?
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Skull Bag. Basquiat is a super-hero, super-talent. The paintings are layered and layered with icons, skulls and words, so you always find a new detail on the bag to put a smile on your face.
On your website you write: The cultural world is an endless source of possibilities and collaborations for us as a brand. It sparks our imagination and curiosity. What can we expect from LOQI in the future? What are your plans?
Important for our collaborations is that all future collections will be recycled and we are developing new sustainable materials like Tyvek.
