Around the World with Jost Bags x Ali­ce Sara Ott

As a sought-after con­cert pia­nist, Ali­ce Sara Ott tra­vels the glo­be – and now laun­ches a com­pre­hen­si­ve spe­cial tra­vel edi­ti­on for the bag label JOST.

The con­cert-pia­nist Ali­ce Sara Ott…

The careful­ly craf­ted col­la­bo­ra­ti­on has the right bag for any occa­si­on. Born in Munich, the talen­ted young artist won num­e­rous awards as a child and went on to play the world’s most pres­ti­gious con­cert halls. Recent per­for­man­ces include her debuts with the Los Ange­les Phil­har­mo­nic and the Chi­ca­go Sym­pho­ny Orches­tra. Alice‘s most recent album, “The Cho­pin Pro­ject”, which was craf­ted in coöpe­ra­ti­on with Ice­lan­dic artist and com­po­ser Ólaf­ur Arnalds, top­ped the iTu­nes clas­si­cal charts in 25 countries.

… now also designs a tra­vel edition

The vibrant crea­ti­ve exch­an­ge bet­ween Diet­mar Jost and Ali­ce yiel­ded a very per­so­nal coll­ec­tion enri­ched by Alice’s excep­tio­nal flair for gra­phics and design. She sket­ched all the drafts hers­elf and was clo­se­ly invol­ved in the enti­re pro­duct design pro­cess. Ever­y­thing you need for tra­vel­ling – The coll­ec­tion con­sists of 5 mix&match bags – a car­ry-all, two brief­ca­ses, a clutch and a bucket bag (tra­di­tio­nal Japa­ne­se hand­bag) plus a pur­se and a beau­ty case. Pay­ing homage to Alice’s Ger­man-Japa­ne­se roots, each bag is accom­pa­nied by a lea­ther ori­ga­mi tag desi­gned by the pia­nist hers­elf. The bags’ lining fea­tures an ori­ga­mi pat­tern drawn by Alice.
