IKEA taps Off-White's Virgil Abloh to re-design its iconic FRAKTA bag

After teasing a potential collaboration with Off-White’s Virgil Abloh, Abloh has finally revealed his take of IKEA’s iconic FRAKTA bag at Democratic Design Days in Sweden. Made entirely from cardboard with tape placed at the seams, the re-designed tote features the word ‘SCULPTURE’ written on the side, combined with yellow and blue straps to reflect the Scandinavian furniture giant’s classic colour scheme. You can watch Democratic Design Days here, with Abloh coming on at around the nineteen minute mark.

Demna Gvasalia‘s Balenciaga has always thought outside the box, reappropriating cheap, simple everyday items and reimagining them into luxurious high-end pieces — think the Bazar bag. This season, the designer has taken another everyday staple that we’re all familiar with — the IKEA shopping bag — and made it into a $2,000 USD item, constructed of real leather. Well, the Swedish furniture behemoth has responded to the blatant ripoff of its beloved shopping bag, and pokes fun at the whole situation. Courtesy of Swedish advertising agency ACNE, check out the ad below. Shop the Balenciaga version here or cop a few of the IKEA ones for $0.99 USD.

Personalise IKEA’s iconic blue bag at pop-up

The Hus of FRAKTA - the IKEA luxury pop-up on Oxford Street 💙

The iconic blue bag is celebrated with a one-of-a-kind personalisation station, where you can choose between two sized bags, two initials with either two colours (yellow and blue). And the price is so reasonable for IKEA members - 50p for the medium size and 75p for the large size, including the lettering.

There’s also a shop with limited edition items such as bucket hats, totes and t-shirts which you can purchase while you wait for your bag to be ready (10-20 mins). There’s even a surprise sweet treat if you press the bell 🍭

This absolutely amazing pop-up is on until March too so there’s no rush 🙌

📍 216 Oxford Street, 11-8 Mon-Sat, 12-6 Sun

#ikeahack — turn the #frakta into a @sarkirsten #fennelfannypack it‘s a bit wonky; plastic is a bit tricky to sew in the corners... but it‘s mainly a fannypack for dog treats that i can rinse of easily. that ikea bag has been laying in my closet for at least two years, untouched, so i think this is a good repurpose for it. i also had the zippers, so nothing new was bought for the creation of that bag. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMkREolG9R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v3zbe6yvlw14
