How might we redesign our current “Chossy Chalk Bag” for ease of manufacturing and improved durability?



Current design featured: 


The chossy chalk bag is made partially from upcycled climbing rope and partly from ripstop nylon. Functionality dictates its form. This bag combines both materials for peak performance.

Features:

-Reinforced rim

-Fleece lining

-Elastic brush loop

-Elastic carabiner loop

-Two loops for a belt

5" diameter

7" height



Current hickups include: long production time 1.5hrs, difficult finishing seam, high wear on industrial sewing machines, occasional split along the arc of the rope and fabric.

 
Concept Ideation of Cossy Chalk Bag:

Looking at unique construction methods that can blend 2-3 different upcycled fabrics to complement the fabric properties.
Prototyping:     

Working Sample:
