INTIMA


Intima — latin for "innermost" or "most intimate"


A collection of bags that explores the intimate relationship between the wearer and the objects we choose to surround and adorn ourselves with. Inspired by duality and paradox, the collection explores how materiality, form, and symbolism can be used to express how adornment can become an extension of the self, revealing our innermost layers, both physical and emotional. 




Each material, making process, and form intentionally leads lends to themes of vulnerability,  uncovers layer after layer, bringing you deeper into it:


leather
suede
cast white bronze
laser engraving
