Maxi Wire Cabas Tote Bag
A Y/PROJECT signature that turns a familiar accessory into a distorted, engineered statement.
Story & heritage
Y/PROJECT’s Maxi Wire Cabas Tote Bag sits inside the brand’s Martens-era language of distorted Parisian staples: familiar wardrobes re-cut through twist, modularity, or deliberate imbalance. The label became known for avant-garde tailoring, gender-fluid styling, and pieces engineered to be worn in more than one way.
Lyst and other retail mirrors describe the Wire Cabas as one of the notable Y. Project bag families; its oversized, bendable outline makes the bag an accessories expression of the same twist-and-remake logic as the denim.
Materials & craft
Retail listings for the Wire Cabas describe a denim tote with concealed or integrated pliable wires, twin top handles, an open top, logo patch, and an interior pocket.
The point is not a fixed silhouette: the edges can be bent and twisted, turning a large cabas into a wearable shape experiment.
How to choose & style
Style it by letting the engineered detail do the work: keep surrounding pieces relatively direct, then echo one line, wash, or hardware tone from the item. For a quieter read, choose the most neutral colourway; for the full Y/PROJECT effect, let the twist, wire, or exaggerated proportion stay visible.
