The Ensis
The Ensis bag is the result of a collaboration between Lies Mertens and designer Jonas Van Put, bringing together the precision of leather-working with the sculptural logic of furniture design. It belongs to our Shell Collection, an ongoing exploration of volume created through folds and pattern-making rather than traditional bag construction.
Each edition of the Shell Collection is released in a limited run, with every bag individually numbered.
