WE TOOK INSPIRATION FROM OUR SICILIAN FOLKLORE.ONE IS THE SICILIAN CART WHERE ARSTISTS PAINTED THE STORIES ABOUT PALADINS OR KNIGHTS

“COFFA” THE “COFFA” IS A TIPICAL SICILIAN BAG. ORIGINALLY FARMERS USED IT TO PICK UP THE WHEAT OR BINDED IT TO THE HEAD OF HORSES TO LET THEM EAT .NOWADAYS THESE BAGS ARE DECORATED WITH SICILIAN CARTS’ ACCESSORIES SUCH AS MIRRORS, RATTLES, LIONS HEAD, ETC.

OUR “MODERN COFFA”TODAY IS REALLY DIFFICULT FIND SMALL PALM TREE, THE MATERIAL OF WHICH COFFA IS MADE OF, SO WE REVIEWED AND REINVENTED “COFFA” IN A MODERN WAY

MATERIALS FOR REALIZING “TRADITIONAL COFFA “ AND “MODERN COFFA”

WE ARE GOING TO USE MATERIALS THAT WE USUALLY USE FOR REALIZING DRESSES AND ALL THAT REMAINS WE WILL USE FOR BAGS. FOR OUR “MODERN COFFA” WE WILL USE A CHAIN-LINK FENCE COVEREDWITH CLOTHS.

JEWELRIES WILL BE REALIZED WITH APPLICATIONS ON VOLCANIC ROCK DECORATED WITH SICILIAN CART AND CARDS , WITH TYPICAL SICILIAN SUBJECTS OR WITH OUR OLD COINS “LIRA”.

ALL THE ACTIVITIES ON THE MANUFACTURING WILL BE MADE IN

OUR FASHION PRODUCTION LABORATORIES.

ALL THE STUDENTS OF THE FASHION SECTOR WILL BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT, WE ARE STUDENTS FROM 14 TO 18 YEARS OLD BUT IN OUR GROUP THERE ARE ALSO MIGRANT STUDENTS, THAT STARTED SCHOOL LATER, SO THEY ARE OLDER.

AFTER MAKING THE PRODUCTS WE ARE GOING TO PLAN A FAIR AT SCHOOL. ALL THAT WE WILL EARN WILL BE USED TO

COVER THE COSTS FOR THE COLLECTION AND THE PROJECT.
