Krejci Tubus Mifa Shoulder Bag

Doreen Westphal had her first tailor education under the old DDR regime. After 1989 she studied theatre design at Nottingham Trent University. Doreen Westphal started Krejci three years ago with a series of bags made out of gray industrial felt. When she received a bag full of inner tubes as a Christmas present joke she started to play around with the material, which resulted in her first inner tube bag, the MIFA. After much experimentation and study, Doreen Westphal succeeded in creating Tubus, a line of strong, unique looking bags based on unusual materials: original Amsterdam bicycle inner tubes and felt. She is now living and working in Amsterdam as a freelance costume, clothing and stage designer.
