Shell collection
The Shell collection
The Shell collection is an ongoing project where volume is created by folds and patterns, distinct from the traditional approach to bag design.
Lies Mertens: "Shells as an inspiration for designs came into my life by chance. While tidying up, I found the box in which I had kept my collection as a child. At that time, I was looking to take a step in another direction. After more architectural designs built around sleek fronts and backs, these beautiful, organic shells formed an interesting new starting point. Their shapes are more whimsical, more natural. They don't follow the logic of symmetry, but one of growth, protection, and adaptation. Nature is a powerful designer; nothing happens without a reason."
