Intarsia
The two main details of this handbag require long hours of dedication. Its intarsia leather shell is a careful collage of laser cut leather pieces, which are sewn by hand to create an intricate geometric design that runs through every layer of the piece. The elegant, lacquered Costa edging that can be seen running along the seams of its leather handle is applied via a five-step process in which the raw edges are hand-sanded twice, before the ink is applied three times - having been left to dry completely between each application.
