RAY

RAY | Leather Backpack and Tote Bag

The “Blur The Lines” collection blurs the lines between art and craft, between leather goods and objects of contemplation. Inspired by architecture, it explores textures and creative processes. It questions our relationship to time, consumption, and our everyday objects. With “Blur The Lines,” a bag becomes a work of art, a work of art becomes an everyday companion, a souvenir of adventure—like a photo album.

Ray is named after Ray Eames, an iconic figure in architecture and design, renowned for her innovative approach to materials, colors, and forms. Her unique vision and playful spirit left their mark on the history of post-industrial modernism.

Modernism is a movement that emerged in reaction to the historical and ornamental styles of the past. It is based on several principles: functionalism, a clean and minimalist approach with simple lines and clear geometric volumes, and a free, open, and flexible layout.

Ray is a two-in-one leather bag: wear it as a backpack or as a tote bag over your shoulder, depending on your style. A simple yet practical and effective model. Available in two sizes and two colors, it plays with contrasts thanks to an exterior pocket in a different textured leather. Ray is a ray of sunshine, inspired by Ray Eames’s love of color and her playful side, in which I play with textures and shapes.
