For the creation of this bag drop, Ruslan collaborated with one of the centers of this art form - the village of Iza in the Zakarpattia region. The local technique of wicker weaving is included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list of Ukraine, and Iza's products were once exported worldwide. The French painter, Auguste Renoir, had furniture from Iza decorating his porch.
