The designer believes that products made from sustainable resources create a new niche in the design world, adding, “My message to professionals is to stay away from less sustainable designs, as raw materials have a direct impact on the production line. That’s why I’m looking at starting a production line for future designs made from critical materials taken from the environment and characterized by their existence over the years.” And this is at the cost of products that are of low quality And are more harmful to the environment. The increased damage and their bulkier design.” And on how they obtained the bag’s components, she says: “Under the supervision of the Idea Lab team at Ithra, we developed the materials to ensure the sustainability of the materials. took the initiative to bring components from nature for their potential to use and achieve the goal. Several scientific tests to reach the inevitable conclusion, and the same skins are now being manufactured in the Ideas Lab.
