Handbags are sculptural objects — self-contained, still. Until they’re worn. That’s when they shift, no longer separate, but part of a larger form. They move with the body, holding rhythm, presence, and energy.
Shape of Self explores the space where the object becomes an extension. Each bag in this collection is built not just to be held, but to mirror the person holding it — to respond to movement and echo identity. Inspired by the sharp corners, soft folds, and negative spaces of the cities I’ve lived in, the silhouettes take on forms that are architectural, yet just simple shapes. You don’t analyze them, you just reach for them.
