2. When leather takes me on a journey
I decided to preserve the natural shape of this leather, a testament to its past.
I simply trimmed the imperfect edges, then built around it, like composing a melody: letting each curve tell its own story.
The luminous, warm bronze leather embraced the yellow contours, enhancing the depth of its shades.
To add texture and relief, I chose a brown, slightly reddish cowhide, which captures the light like a golden memory.
The reflections vary depending on the angle, reminiscent of the shifting texture of sands. This is the whole spirit of the artisanal bag, born from hand and eye, without calculation, but with emotion.
Finally, I had to find the second-hand jewel capable of complementing the whole.
Its hues — from orange to deep brown — blend with the leather and bring it what it was waiting for: a touch of character, elegance and femininity.
An almost palpable harmony, between material, light and gesture.
