PRODUCT DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY

I have been asked by Fred Gattuso the owner of OZfruit in Cobram to design and make a pair of overalls with an attachable picking bag for orchard workers.

When picking fruit the pickers work long hours with heavy bags full of fruit, so I have been asked to design the bag and overalls to be comfortable and strong enough to hold newly picked fruit. Due to pickers being in tall grass the overalls must be full length, as well as lightweight because of the constant heat.
