I mean, if your tiny bag doesn’t show up wearing a veil…what are we even doing here. A fun roundup of seven tiny bags fit for a big day, as envisioned through the aesthetic of each of our wedding collections - The Poet, The Editor, Curator, The Dreamer, The Vanguard, The Novelist, and The Hedonist.
This was a fun creative exercise in style: an attempt to translate the world of each collection ordinarily all captured through print and paper, into a tiny purse that might be seen bobbing down an aisle or runway. I thought about texture and craft and composition of course…but I was also thinking about the personalities of each of these characters more broadly, looking for designers and pieces that in their essence might share similar sensibilities…or spending habits! I was not, at all, thinking about price…which made this virtual shopping spree an extra delight.
I hope to do more of these, and find the personification or objectification of each collection in everything from veils and shoes to interiors and places and people!…because they’re fun yes, but also because they force me to really hone in on defining each collection’s particular aesthetic and visual universe. Who knows…maybe one day we’ll design (or collaborate on designing) a clutch or veil purposefully for The Poet. Big dreams! Until then…scroll through and marvel at these beauties…and if this window shopping experience leads you to an actual purchase, I’d love to know!
Also…if seven just aren’t enough for you…there’s a whole Letterist Pinterest board called CLUTCH you can slide into and continue.
