Archive 26/002 is a tactile Leather journey through the late 20th century, curated into a single, unrepeatable silhouette. The design centers through the transformation of a woolen fabric with suede leather appliqué.
Completed with our Signature Archival Bloom Charm in leather, vintage printed mink fur, and vintage gold hardware, this piece is a labor of 'Archival Upcycling' by designer Emanuele Bianco. It is not merely a bag, but a fragment of history saved from the past to be carried into the future."
Designer´s note: “Here at Luxury Scraps I always thrive in finding the best way to rescue discarded remnants, and this new technique of reviving this woolen fabric with leather appliqué is the actual proof. By combining different pieces and remnants of leather I was able to create this incredible pattern. Its striking and bold colors don´t go unnoticed, and reminds us how the forgotten can have a new life again.” E.B.
