RÆBURN has undertaken a meticulous deconstruction process of race-worn Formula 1 Nomex® suits from Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, and their mechanics, as well as Peeler suits worn by civil responders and police. Each garment has been carefully disassembled and reimagined to create this unique style, the Mercedes-AMG F1 x PUMA x RÆBURN Masterpiece Sling Bag. Crafted from a blend of race-worn suits and Peeler suits, this sling bag showcases a unique combination of materials that highlight both durability and functionality. The lining fabric is made from deadstock Nomex twill sourced from Puma. Inspired by the classic RÆBURN sling bag design, this iteration features three compartments for versatile storage; a front pocket with expandable capacity, secured by a Riri zip with black metal finish that allows for easy access and added space. The main compartment, equipped with a single press stud closure, provides ample room for essential and a back slip pocket offers convenient access to items on the go. The sling bag includes an adjustable strap with a side release buckle, allowing it to be worn comfortably across the body. Additionally, the bag can be attached to a backpack by detaching the shoulder strap and using these buckles, enhancing its versatility. Emphasising its exclusivity, each bag is marked with a story label placed internally, detailing its limited production of only 5 units. The label also provides insight into the materials used and the collaborative journey behind this collection. RÆMADE items have been created by taking existing surplus materials, products and artefacts and reworking them into completely new products. As a result of this upcycling process, no two RÆMADE products are identical and may include some inherent faults and/or characteristics of the original materials, products and artefacts used to make them.
