A collision between jewelry-inspiration and leather goods artistry, the versatile piece is completed by Mary Katrantzou’s very own interpretation of the snakehead closure.
FROM SNAKES TO BUTTERFLIES
A true artisanal masterpiece, the Serpenti Metamorphosis bag connects the snake’s ever-evolving nature with the fascinating metamorphosis of butterflies. A spectacular three-dimensional embroidery on the bag’s body depicts the transformation of a coiled serpent into a riot of flying butterflies, bringing to life an optimistic message of rebirth, evolution and change.
THE REBIRTH OF THE SNAKEHEAD
A jewel in its own right, the Serpenti Metamorphosis minaudière focuses on the hypnotic beauty of the iconic snakehead, exalting the sensuality of its hexagonal scales and transfixing drop-shaped eyes. This object of desire comes in two different styles: a small size to be worn crossbody or on the waist as a precious belt bag, and a vibrant medium size for hand carry.
