studio steady’s duel-purpose shield satchel can be used for self-defence

influenced by the ongoing worldwide protests, interdisciplinary design firm studio steady has designed a shield satchel for the everyday activist. the satchel includes water and pepper spray-resistant features, high-impact polycarbonate, and thick woven belts for easy grip in both bag and shield form.

the shield satchel is the perfect tool for the 21st century activist

studio steady‘s head designer celine setiadi explains that the average civilian is not equipped, nor have they adapted to the needs of 21st century social activism.‘the shield satchel aims to fill the gap in the market of disobedient objects that help the activist-individual voice dissent in as safe a manner as possible,’ explains the designer, ‘as they do not have access to riot shields and self-defence apparatus as the police do.’
