During the Grassi fair, a container with advertising banners visible from afar stands on Johannisplatz directly in front of the museum. After the end of the Grassimesse, these colorful advertising tarpaulins do not go into the trash, but into the studio of the Leipzig fashion designer Maria Schenke with her label GRAUE MAUS. The second life of the advertising tarpaulins begins, as the fashion designer uses them to create casual bags for urban use. From the small fanny pack to light and airy backpacks to voluminous shopping bags, the variety is suitable for everyday urban use. Available for purchase during and after the Grassimesse at www.graue-maus.de.
