New York art collective MSCHF has created a "Frankenstein" handbag by asking a series of global factories to create an object through prompts, including references to well-known products by designer brands.

MSCHF created the bag through a global game of "telephone", in which they sent vague instructions and reference images in succession to four leather-working factories to form a final design.
The project seeks to "protagonize" these factories, which do work where name-brand design labels might leave ambiguities.

"Factories do a tremendous amount of creative work behind the scenes,"  said MSCHF. "The goal of Global Supply Chain Telephone was to use this hidden creative labor from the factory as the design process for the bag." "MSCHF has seen this over and over again with our shoe program and beyond, where problem-solving happens factory-side that we didn't anticipate, or decisions come back from the factory that surprises us with an unexpected piece of problem-solving ? even if it's not always 'good,' it's distinctly creative."
MSCHF decided to use this behind-the-scenes problem-solving as the full design process to create the Global Supply Chain Telephone Handbag.
