Join us for the launch of a limited-edition bag by local designer Yani Bags, produced in collaboration with artist Visaya Hoffie. Named Cendol (pronouned chen-doll), this new design is inspired by an Indonesian iced sweet dessert that contains uniquely shaped, bright-green jellies made from rice. The mix of ingredients in the dessert is echoed in the combination of materials used to form the bag. Celebrate the launch with the designer after hours at the gallery and enjoy local DJs, food, and drinks. Browse a collection of the Vissy bags, a classic Yani Bags design, alongside the new collection in various colours and patterns.

Inspired by the tactility and uniqueness of Asian foods, Yani Bags are designed and handmade in Meanjin/Brisbane by Yani Preston, a designer and artist of Australian, Indonesian, and Dutch ethnicity. Starting as a project, while she was studying at the Parsons School of Design in New York in 2019, it has evolved into a playful, unique, contemporary collection.
