Entry Description

Introducing The Cherry Bag: Born to redefine fashion and Latin American luxury, this bag merges craftsmanship and 3D technology. Say goodbye to polluting fashion and hello to a more sustainable future!
Instead of traditional leather, we use grape leather, transforming wine industry waste into a juicy accessory.
On the other hand, 3D printing with TPU, minimizing waste and maximize design. Each piece is unique, crafted by talented artisans from the aluminum handle by jeweler to the lining made by seamstress. The Cherry Bag is a statement of style and consciousness.

Bio

Ecuadorian Product Designer, Lover of color, intriguing shapes that spark discussions and finding beauty in things. Now I find inspiration, in eclecticism drawing from a mix of styles, techniques and ideas.

I am primarily a lover of mode because I believe fashion is the architecture of our bodies, and the way we express ourselves can have an impact on what we wear.
