BAGGS

A crypto-culture fashion project designed to encourage self-custody evangelism.


BAGGS is a solo endeavor that I started in 2022. Wanting a more screen-free creative outlet, I began beading, which evolved into weaving jewelry cases from Japanese glass beads and Swarovski crystals. Working in the crypto space at the time, I witnessed that self-custody practices were not disseminating into crypto's femme networks, and created a product to appeal to this demo and spread the word on security. 

Each BAGG is a 1/1 handmade jewelry accessory, designed to encase and embrace a Ledger hardware wallet. Every physical BAGGS jewelry piece comes with a digital proof of authenticity collectible, tokenized on the blockchain.
