"& by" is a collaboration project between Irma Borgsteede and bag designer Dorrith de Beer. Both inspired by contemporary architecture they designed six models of coat/bag-combinations. Both coat and bag can be used separately but bounded together they form a strong unique design. The models were presented during Dutch Design Week 2013 and so far only can be ordered through the designers themselves.
The symbol "&" stands for their working together as well as for the projects in which they combine two items into one.
