Design student Nastarssya Wood is setting records with the ''vinyl bags'' she is selling at an Otago Polytechnic pop-up market this week.

Design students have turned their ideas into reality, selling items from notebooks to printed clothes, jewellery and hot-water bottle covers at the polytechnic's hub building in Forth St.

Ms Wood (21) had trawled op-shops to find the records and bright designs for the straps and sides of her bags.

''Nice happy designs work well with records,'' she said.

Ms Wood's creations sell for $65 each.

She said she got inspiration from an industrial design course she had also taken part in.

About 40 first and second-year students were in the hub yesterday.

School of Design senior lecturer Tracey Kennedy said the market would run for three days.

An exhibition of students' work - entitled ''Fuse''- will run at the polytechnic hub until August 27.
