A symbiosis between industrial design and fashion - building bags. Combining mass production and hand-work with great attention to detail. Riveting and silver-plating, patent leather and suede.
In my final collection I work on the classics – the croco bag, the doctors bag and suitcase. Covering them up, removing the functionality of hardware attachments and abstracting buckles and locks to pure decoration.
