Lacey

We all have drawers full of the lace made by our mothers and grandmothers. Those doyleys were used as the decoration on coffee tables, tv-sets, or armchairs.

Diana

The bag has always two functions: to put things inside ( as much as it could be stuffed in it ) and to look nice but not essentially in that order.This bag meets both requests. It is unique and different from the other bags because of the combination of materials used for making it: plexiglas with textile bag attached. The bag is very architectural, simple and clean in its form but nevertheless functional. In its construction, it is homage to Bauhaus, its world view and its masters but still it is very modern. Thanks to plexy, it is very light and its shiny surface attracts attention.

Large Yore

The bag aims to serve as a modern travel companion that integrates cultural significance, practicality, and aesthetic appeal.
