The brand name means “a ready made article” and it is an antithese, and the bag and the wear which he dismantle the military item and rebuilt is an antiwar message for the world where war and the dispute are not worthy of.

READYMADE is the brand which circulates a thing that is discarded as an unnecessary thing, and let a new figure be reborn.
