Grytsje Suze Abma is a conceptual designer who brings her sculptural bags to life through light, movement, and identity. From a head-banging bag to dynamic stained-glass effects. At Design Perron Market, you can experience, rent, buy, or even win one of her exclusive bags.

Wearable statement pieces

Born in 1993, Grytsje Suze is a conceptual designer driven by curiosity and a fascination for movement, light, and identity. She describes her mind as an endless ideation machine, constantly experimenting with different materials, techniques, and disciplines.

From an early age she has been creating at the intersection of fashion, art, and design. After studying at ArtEZ Arnhem and founding her own studio, she developed a series of Props and Pieces in which these disciplines merge. Today, her focus lies on leather bags, with her first high-end artistic collection being presented during Dutch Design Week.

From a headbanging bag with a mohawk that moves to the rhythm of your imagination, to a bag that captures colorful reflections like stained glass. At Design Perron Market you can experience them in your own way: wear them, photograph them, claim your red-carpet moment, or simply be amazed.

And as the finishing touch, you can enter a lottery for the chance to win an exclusive bag of your choice. An opportunity not only to look, but to also to play and perhaps to even take a piece of her world home with you.

Rent, buy or custom design

Whether you are a stylist, curator, member of the press, or a design enthusiast: Grytsje Suze’s bags offer an experience you won’t forget. Her collection moves between art, fashion, and performance, making it suitable for a wide range of contexts. Her visual statement pieces are perfect for films, red carpets, events and editorials, but also for collaborations with brands. Such as bespoke engagement pieces or custom projects.

Come by and discover the possibilities to rent, purchase, or translate a concept into your own projects.
