Cocodrilo Work & Travel Tote, a Wearable Sculpture
Materials and Process:
A new collection of sculptural handbags, inspired by my home of Oaxaca, its gorgeous and resilient women, and the exquisite photography of Graciela Iturbide and Edward Weston.
Cocodrilo tote is exquisite enough to receive gasps of awe as you stroll through the streets of Mexico City, Casablanca or Kyoto and sturdy enough to carry an IPad, a pair of sunglasses, your passport, a change of undies, a real camera… a few tamales …
Her shape was inspired by Graciela Iturbide’s photograph “Cocodrilo” taken in Oaxaca in 1995.
The hand pleated silk emulates a Crocodile’s wide spiny back, and the natural dyes reptilian in color feel like a textured second skin. This one of a kind bag is made with hand pleated silk and natural dyes, made to look reptilian in nature. It has a muted rusty peach raw silk lining.
