"Fish Bag” – Upcycled Art Piece from Vintage Azerbaijani Brocade
This extraordinary creation is not a bag — yet it looks like one.
Shaped like a fish, this unwearable art bag transforms fashion into sculpture.
Made from vintage 1990s Azerbaijani brocade, richly embellished with sequins and coins, it captures the opulence of traditional craftsmanship while reimagining it through contemporary art.
Upcycled by Paulina’s Friends, this piece blurs the line between accessory and artwork — an ironic commentary on beauty, function, and excess.
A collector’s piece for those who appreciate conceptual fashion and unique, handmade objects.
