Named after the ancient name of Paris, the Lutece bag is an ode to our home, City of Light. Forever inspiring and just that right mix of classic sophistication with a modern twist, the Lutece bag represents the quintessential Parisian elegance. We love how the signature turnlock and the way it opens and closes in such an effortless way. The removable shoulder strap makes it sporty and keeps the classic look more cool.
The inspiration behind this special one of a kind piece Lutece Mini with Intarsia technique on the front panel of the bag starts from the simple question: What brings us happiness? Colorful flowers such as the Bird of Paradise and the Hibiscus or the pattern of Palm trees and leaves are symbols of Hawaii. As a destination, Hawaii is synonymous to the joyful moments with family and friends. My wish in creating this one of a kind Lutece Mini with powerful symbols that represent the island life is to be able to extend these moments of happiness and bring this feeling with you wherever you go.
‘Intarsia’ in the realm of leather goods is technique in which, the leather panel is cut by laser and other pieces of leather are also cut precisely by laser and put together like a puzzle to creat a flat surface as if it was one layer of leather. All the contours of different pieces of leather are sewed in order to keep the pieces together so that it would not move after usage. Intarsia technique can be also found in woodwork or marble, it is a centuries old technique that we still use today to express creativitity through different mediums.
