I started designing this Opera Bag in January 2022 as a classic, lightweight work bag. Its top hemispherical shape is inspired by ‘stupa’—an essential feature of Java’s ancient ‘Candi’ architecture. After exploring many forms and cutting patterns, I finally found an ideal proportion for my colourful day-to-day life. So far, I must say Opera is the culmination of my joyful bag-making experiments.

First, I named this design ‘Opera’ because its two-sided outer surface serves as a stage, showcasing the Original Editions (my narrative illustrations). The rounded top with double zippers displays a graceful look while providing a spacious opening for accessing its contents. The large interior compartments and pockets are practical for storing a mobile phone, a laptop (size 11" to 16"), or A4 folders. In addition, the bag also comes with a loop that can be attached to the separately sold Bien Strap, allowing it to be worn as a handbag, shoulder bag or sling bag. By the way, there are two additional loops on the front of the short handles which can be used for attaching a key chain, a bag charm, or an extra pouch. A simple ring carabiner can be useful for hanging those additional small items. The carabiner is available in two sizes and sold separately.

Thank you so much for collecting my handmade work of art, Melissa Sunjaya.
