Salvor Projects

Salvor Projects is an intriguing graphic project which began in a basement studio below the sidewalk on Prince Street right off the Bowery.

In the early 80's Salvor Projects brain, Ross Menuez, spent time in Nicaragua building cement and earth pre-fab houses for the Sandinistas. Upon his return to New York, Menuez jumped into sculpture using found industrial materials which led to a decade of designing furniture, lighting and interiors in the US, Japan and the UK. His bags are a reflection of the eclectic style he's developed over the years.
"I think the strong pull we experience when we find the "right" bag is primal" says Menuez. "Going back a few eons to our nomadic days our survival most likely depended on a good bag. The home you carried on your back."

In addition to bags, Salvor Projects produces a small line of scarves, dresses, belts and outerwear for men and women. Sold at Barney's and Dover Street Market, you can view their whole line at SalvorProjects.com.
