THIS LEATHER BAG IS REVERSIBLE AND IS MADE FROM WHITE HAIR ON COWHIDE. OUR HAIR ON HIDE BAGS WERE PATTERNED FROM A CERAMIC VASE, WHICH ARE THEN WET FORMED OVER THEM TO HOLD THEIR SHAPE. THE BAG IS THEN HAND PAINTED BLACK ON THE SUEDE SIDE AND FINISHED WITH BEESWAX TO CREATE AN IRREGULAR TEXTURE.
THIS BAG FEATURES A CURVED REVERSIBLE RIRI ZIPPER WITH NEWLY DESIGNED ZIPPER PULLS THAT HAVE BEEN MOLDED AND CONTOURED TO EMULATE SCULPTURE AND ERGONOMIC FORM. ADDITIONALLY 2 LEATHER STRAPS COMPLETED WITH INDUSTRIAL PAINTED LOBSTER CLIPS. THERE ARE 3 LOCATIONS ON EACH SIDE OF THE BAG THAT THE STRAPS CAN BE ATTACHED TO, IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE WEARER THE CHOICE OF HOW THE BAG COMPLETES THE OUTFIT. IT CAN BE WORN AS A CROSS BODY, SHOULDER BAG, BACKPACK, OR CARRIED STRAPLESS.
THE REVERSIBLE LEATHER HAIR ON HIDE BAG IS DESIGNED TO BE FULLY REVERSIBLE WITH THE OUTSIDE HAIR SIDE BEING MORE MINIMAL AND CLEAN. THE INSIDE OF THIS BAG HAS EXTENDED SEAM ALLOWANCE EXAGGERATING THE CURVED PANELS ADDING CONTRAST WITH THE HAIR ON SIDE PEEKING THROUGH THE BLACK SUEDE.
THE VERSATILITY OF THIS DESIGN IS TO OFFER MULTIPLE METHODS OF WEAR; TO EXIST AS MULTIPLE BAGS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO BE STYLED - NO FINALITY OF WEAR.
IN THIS COLLECTION, WE INTEGRATED ELEMENTS SUCH AS HAND-PAINTED HARDWARE AND LOGOS DESIGNED TO ADORN EACH GARMENT IN FORMS REMINISCENT OF SHELLS AND BONES FOUND AMONG THE NATURAL WORLD THAT EMPHASIZE THE PASSAGE OF TIME, AND THE PERMANENCE OF TRANSFORMATION.
