Squares Of Madness Weekender Bag

$ 49.00

Nobody packs a weekender for a Tuesday.

This bag only comes out when something good is about to happen — a coast road, a ferry, three days somewhere warm. Which is exactly the wrong moment to be carrying something beige.

Squares of Madness is two of Bert Ernie’s designs cut into a checkerboard and both switched on at once. Square on, square off, ten thousand times over. From a distance it shimmers like woven cloth. Up close it detaches into squares and you can see both designs arguing.

24″ × 13″ × 5.5″. Cream rope handles. Stands up by itself on sand.

Description

Your weekender is the most optimistic object you own.

It doesn’t come out for work. It doesn’t come out for the shops. It sits in a cupboard for eleven months and then, one Friday, you drag it out and something good is happening — a coast road, a ferry, a shack with bad wi-fi, three days somewhere warm with nothing on. It is the bag of the good days. So why is nearly every one of them navy?

This one isn’t. Two of Bert Ernie’s graphic designs, made years apart and never meant to meet, laid over each other and then — instead of choosing between them — cut through with a checkerboard and both left running. Square on: the first. Square off: the second. Alternating all the way across, sixty centimetres of it, neither one winning. He layered bump and shadow effects over the top to make the whole thing look woven, which means you are about to carry a picture of a fabric, printed onto a fabric, held up by actual rope. He finds this hilarious. Nobody has been able to talk him out of it.

Here’s what it does in the sun. From up the beach it reads as one shimmering textile, a single moving surface. Walk up to it and it falls apart into thousands of individual squares. Two metres and thirty centimetres are two entirely different objects. Sunlight makes it worse, or better, depending on how you feel about being the most looked-at thing on the sand.

Squares of Madness weekender bag print file — the full wraparound design showing the checkerboard interleave of two artworks
The print file, wrapping the whole bag in one piece. The logo sits upside down at the bottom because that’s the end that folds over to become the back. Front and back are near-twins that don’t quite match — the mirror was built and then quietly sabotaged by the effects.

And it’s made properly. Printful prints, cuts and hand-sews it to order, ethically, the moment you buy it. Nothing sits in a warehouse waiting for a holiday that might not happen.

  • 100% polyester exterior
  • 50% cotton, 50% polyester cream-colored interior lining
  • Cream rope handles fed through metal grommets
  • Large size: 24″ × 13″ × 5.5″ (60.9 × 33 × 14 cm)
  • Stable T-bottom construction
  • Vibrant colors that won’t fade
  • Printed, cut, and hand-sewn by our expert in-house team

Two feet wide. Takes a towel, a book, lunch, sunscreen and a change of clothes without complaint. The T-bottom means it stands up on its own instead of flopping into the sand, and the cream rope handles are the only quiet thing about it. Best feature: you will never lose this bag. Not on a beach, not on a baggage carousel, not in a hotel lobby, not from the water. Nobody has ever picked up the wrong one of these.

Too loud to ignore.
