At NODOS, we believe that each object can be much more than an accessory: it can be a work of art, a manifesto, and an experience. The Moon Origin is not just the first bag of our brand; it is the origin of a unique language, a new way to merge art, fashion, and technology.
This 3D bag marked the beginning of our entire creative universe and paved the way for a fashion that is light, durable, conscious, and deeply emotional.
3D Bag Moon Origin – The first design of Nodos
From sketch to object: the creative process
It all began with a drawing during a hot August on the coast of Sounio, Athens, where I have been spending my summers for quite some time. I have always loved spending my free time hand-drawing, especially accessories I would like to incorporate into my wardrobe. The sketch on paper gave rise to an idea that seemed almost impossible: a bag that was organic, sculptural, and at the same time functional.
But, how to achieve this texture? What material and process could help me create it? After months of research, trial, and error, I found the perfect tool to make it a reality: the 3D printer, in my case, the BambuLab A1, capable of offering me the precision and stability needed to print the main parts layer by layer. The printer as the medium and TPU filament as the biomaterial that would replace plastic and provide that soft and elegant leather effect.
The process did not stop there. The essence of the Moon Origin lies in its hand-zigzagged texture created with a 3D pen. A repetitive, almost meditative gesture that transforms the technological into the artisanal and turns the surface into something alive, delicate, and unique.
Innovation and craftsmanship in a single design
The Moon Origin is the perfect example of what defines NODOS: a futuristic accessory that does not give up the warmth of handcrafted work.
– It is made with innovative and sustainable materials, designed to minimize environmental impact.
– It is ultra-lightweight, durable, and soft to the touch, ensuring it does not snag and accompanies any movement comfortably.
– Its modular design makes it two bags in one: the sculptural outer shell and an inner case that can be used together or separately.
– If desired, you can customize the chain by requesting a 3D-printed chain with personalized screen printing, a neutral black 3D chain as shown in the image, or an acrylic chain in black, amber, red, green, or white.
Every detail responds to a clear philosophy: fashion does not have to choose between beauty and functionality; it can be both at the same time.
A bag with soul
The name Moon Origin is no coincidence. Its semicircular shape evokes the phases of the moon, a symbol of cycles, beginnings, and evolution. It is a bag that not only accompanies your style but also tells a story: how the impossible can become an object, art, and everyday companion.
In a market saturated with mass-produced products, the Moon Origin presents itself as a uniquely designed bag, aimed at those seeking pieces with personality, innovation, and awareness.
Photography and staging
The Moon Origin was presented in a series of editorial images that reflect its duality: shadow and light, technology and skin, geometry and movement. The photos capture its sculptural character and show it not only as a bag but as an extension of the body, a gesture in itself.
Why Moon Origin is more than a bag
1- Designer concept: each piece is crafted with a process that combines digital and manual techniques.
2- A futuristic and sustainable accessory: made with eco-friendly materials and low-impact techniques.
3- Exclusivity: no two are alike, each hand-made texture makes it a unique object.
4- Functionality: ultra-lightweight, versatile, and with the possibility to transform into two bags in one.
In Conclusion
The Moon Origin is not just the first bag I designed at NODOS; it is the symbol of a journey. It represents the desire to create sustainable 3D fashion, to demonstrate that innovation can be poetic, and to offer the world pieces that are not mere accessories, but living sculptures.
With it, everything begins. And with it, my team and I continue looking forward, towards a future where technology, craftsmanship, and beauty walk hand in hand.
A pleasure as always, and thank you for joining me on the Nodos journey.
