Min Sidebag // SNAKESKIN
Upcycling, unlike recycling or downcycling, is repurposing an existing material into a new product that holds a value higher than it's previous use (hence the 'up' cycle). The wizardry of local designer WOAT has done just that. He finds netted grocery bags (lemon, orange, onion) and melts them with other soft plastic trash to create a brand new material.
Once Jasper of WOAT has worked his magic, we put the new material through Into Carry's hand crafted manufacturing process. What pops out the other side is a preemo carry bags made from the trashiest of trash; soft plastic.
THE BAG: Min Sidebag - An Into Carry staple. Perfect for: Phone, wallet, keys, mask, coins, chargers, lip balm etc. *each bag is a one-off piece so will alter in design slightly.
- Dimensions: 22cm Wide x 12cm Tall x 2cm(base)-4cm(top) Deep
- Interior pocket for separate storage (phone, papers etc)

Great experience. Loved learning a new practical skill and leaving with a bag. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed this workshop. I'd already done the intro courses and the five week program, and this one still challenged me — but in a good way, I came away with plenty of new skills. The bag I made turned out better than I expected, genuinely spectacular. Luke is great at what he does — patient, encouraging, and good at giving just enough direction to make sure everyone gets their bag finished. Happy to recommend it. I made the Midi Messenger bag on the Left. Luke had already made the mlarger bag.

Loved this weekend. Having already done the custom bag course, I needed a reason to continue learning and making bags. I took up the opportunity to make messenger bags as I had already bought the kit but yet to start. Luke was patient and helpful especially with the instructions. I made these bags for my brothers but will return to unleash more creativity with my own bag in the near future.
Evalin L. 5/5
Super interesting and engaging. I already had some sewing experience, but learning to patch pieces together with top stitching was a new skill to me. Watching everything come together over the term was so cool, I was so excited for class every week. And of course a big thanks to Saskia for all the guidance and encouragement, she was a wonderful teacher.
Monica S. 5/5 Verified
Great idea, and the finished bag is sturdy, practical, attractive, and unique. The instructions are clear. Sewing the material is a bit different to sewing fabric, so there is a learning curve, but it's well worth it.

For everyone that loves things with a purpose and personalising your daily use items ;) Recently I participated in the framebag workshop and made all my big dreams come true with the help and knowledge of Luke and Saskia. I am now the proud owner of a sexy, highly functional, sustainable, self-made bag and feel so happy. Making things with your hands is so refreshing and you’ll be amazed of the results you’ll get by trusting the process <3 Highly recommended for absolutely everybody!

My experience was so special - lovely people, great space, joy and individuality in abundance, new skills, and mind-opening sewing possibilities unlocked. If you are looking to smile for two hours straight, five weeks in a row, and then forever more when you look at your bag - this is the course for you. Thank you, Into Carry crew!

I recently completed the Custom Frame Bag (for bikes) workshop at Into Carry. I learnt so much from Luke and Saskia. They are very knowledgeable and extremely patient. I feel confident enough now to try my luck with other recycled material bags. I also completed a mini messenger kit bag at home. It's my favourite bag. You should definitely get one of those after you try an in-person workshop. Highly, highly recommend.

Great energy from Saskia and Luke! Super helpful and from zero experience I came out with heaps of learnings and a great bag :)

The Custom Bag Making Workshop was honestly one of the highlights of my year so far! Saskia and Brittany were the best facilitators you could ask for🙌🏼 Their passion and expertise in upcycling made the whole process super inspiring yet approachable. I had a blast with the Sunday arvo crew and walked away with an unique snazzy bag… I will be missing this and cannot wait to continue my upcycling journey.

I absolutely loved this bag-making course! Saskia and Luke are fantastic instructors—friendly, patient, and incredibly skilled. They created such a welcoming and supportive environment that made learning both fun and rewarding. I had no previous sewing experience, but thanks to their guidance, I was able to make a beautiful bag that I’m genuinely so happy with. It was amazing to see the project come together from start to finish, and I learned so much along the way. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning how to make their own handbag ✨👜

A great afternoon learning to use a machine, understanding how different fabric work, and then putting together my own design. The team were really supportive and helpful. I was so excited to receive my completed back and get a number of compliments everywhere I go. I simply love my satchel. Totally recommend the workshop.

I had such an amazing experience at the Into Carry workshop. It was my first time sewing, and Saskia and Luke were incredibly patient and supportive throughout the process. They took the time to help everyone feel comfortable and confident, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. I’m really grateful for how welcoming and encouraging they were. I learned so much and had a great time — highly recommend! especially if you’re planning to start learning sewing but feel like it might be hard, or even if you’re just looking for a fun, fulfilling activity to do with friends or family.
