Leatherfly

The collection explores the theme of metamorphosis from larva to butterfly as a symbol of gradual transformation. This narrative is reflected in the design of both the handbag and the footwear. The handbag represents the initial stage of development — the larva. Its form is closed and compact, conveying a raw, restrained character that suggests an undeveloped state and hidden potential.

In contrast, the mid-calf footwear expresses the final stage of this process. Its shape is more dynamic and open, with details that evoke an abstract butterfly as a symbol of blossoming and transformation. Together, these pieces create a visual story of growth, change, and new beginnings.
