OCEAN TIDES

For this collection, I found inspiration in the contrasts of the sea: the richness of its colours and the shimmer of the water, but also the ruggedness of the shore and the organic forms of plants.

​

I translated these contrasts into a mix of rustic materials such as linen and canvas, combined with fine, lustrous viscose yarns, pearls and fabrics that reflect the light on the water. Open knitted structures, in turn, reference the lightness and forms of fishing nets.

​

The collection consists of a handbag, several keychains and scarves, with each accessory offering its own interpretation of these elements. The woven-fringe bag, for example, grew from the movement and rawness of the waves. The fringes move with the bag, giving it a playful and ever-changing character.

​

A conscious approach to materials was also an important part of the making process. For the collection, I used, among other things, yarns and fabrics from industrial surplus and pearls sourced from a stock sale, giving existing materials a new life in a series of unique accessories.
