In 2017, artist Debra Franses created her first Briefcase Artbag based on the classic Louis Vuitton Soft Document Case. The first ‘Man Bags’ were created in collaboration with Cobra Gallery in Amsterdam who exclusively hold the largest collection. The pieces in this Collection were inspired by figures (both fictional and real) in popular culture who have shaped ideas about masculinity.

These pieces are all listed separately, but you can find out more about the Collection as a whole here. Artworks in order from the second image: ‘Geniuses are Always Branded as Crazy, Narcos’, ‘Scarface’, ‘Tarantino’, ‘The Godfather’, ‘The Golden Handshake’, ‘The Nasty Habit of Survival’ and ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’. If you have been inspired by these pieces, you can also design your own bespoke Briefcase/Man Bag here.
