Bag Design Contest

Overview

We’re excited to launch our Survīval Mōd: Reclaimed Bag Design Competition, an initiative that celebrates creativity, sustainability, and skill-building in the fashion and textile industries.

This competition invites designers, design students and enthusiasts to design and prototype a carrying case —a thoughtfully crafted, multi-functional bag for holding skin and bodycare products.

The winning design will be produced and integrated into Survīval Mōd’s product line, with the designer receiving a prize and recognition.
