Scrap Case

McLaughlin’s Instagram account is full of eccentric bespoke upcycled garments. From bras humorously embellished with mini basketball nets to sliders made of sushi, her quirky designs have gained her widespread popularity. Once she has conceptualised an idea for a design, she trawls eBay and second-hand clothing stores for cheap materials.

On display here is her ‘scrap case’, made from second-hand shoes that have been deconstructed then reconstructed to upholster a used suitcase.

McLauglin previously worked as a graphic designer at Reebok and her influences are varied.
