Its detailed story
Animal prints are never simple; they can quickly become kitschy. But that's not necessarily a problem for me; I enjoy pushing those boundaries. Here, there was no need to worry. These scraps of high-fashion fabric with a raised tonal tiger fur motif play perfectly with those clichés and blend wonderfully with the synthetic suede with a velvety touch and the high-fashion viscose with a slightly shiny mini gingham pattern.
I acquired these different materials from a local couturier, unsure exactly how to work with them as I'm not accustomed to these kinds of patterns, but convinced of the need to expand my comfort zone. Plus, I felt like I was lacking greens in my stock...
Hil's Handmade's 33 West pattern was in need of testers, and I liked its shape and volumes, which were moreover compatible with my materials... It seemed like a great opportunity to stand out from the versions already made by my fellow testers.
In the end, the result lives up to my vision: a pretty and practical bag that can be chic or more casual depending on your outfit, making it an ideal companion.
