Wood You Believe | Handmade Fashion Art

Via Vanichi Magazine

Designers Orli Tesler and Itamar Mendelovitch of the Tel Aviv design studio Tesler + Mendelovitch captivating handbags turn rigid lumber into limber clutches. Utilizing a range of mesmerizing veneers in Ebony, African walnut, American Walnut, Birch, Rosewood and more, the team has mastered an artistry of elegant, eye-catching lines detailed with diagonal crosshatches by which the wood folds and curves like fabric.

Ebony + Great Ebony
$620 - $700

Both architectural and alluring, our personal favorite, the Ebony and/or Great Ebony can shine until it bounces light like a piece of prized marble. Its tight grain and intense dark hues develop over a century. The wood itself is dense enough to sink in water so we hope you never drop this loveliness in the ocean. Both sizes are 100% wood and 100% hide.
