The Story

You’re probably wondering why there are two of these bags hanging on the wall with very different prices.

Take a closer look. This is the unlined version — sewn from the outside rather than the inside, with raw edges that are carefully painted by hand. The side gussets replace the boxed shape, giving it a slightly different silhouette.

The beauty of this piece lies in its restraint. By simplifying the construction, the lines become even cleaner — sharper, more defined. I wanted to explore how the same form could be expressed through different techniques, showing that there’s more than one way to create something that feels entirely your own.

Also inspired by the Ferragamo North–South Tote, the Unlined Tote has everything you need and nothing you don’t.
