Project Offers a Glimpse Inside the Bags of 100 Creative People

Glimpsing into a person’s bag can be a very personal experience. The items that a person chooses to carry on a daily basis can offer great insight into their general character. Creative director and designer Daniel Eckler developed this series, entitled Essentials, as a way to explore the contents of the bags of 100 global creatives.

He reached out to designers, art directors, editors, bloggers, photographers, and artists. The items in each composition are laid out in purposeful arrangements and offer a voyeuristic glimpse at the things on which many creatives rely. The project was developed alongside the Kickstarter campaign for a sustainable backpack design developed by MIJLO.

Typical belongings like sunglasses and sets of keys sit alongside less common things like a tape measure and a pineapple. The simple presentation of objects practically demands viewers to create a narrative about the owner.
