“Wōkorico” N° CO-208
"Cogitations" Range / Collection Memory Striking colours, an ultra-modern silhouette, a pattern that makes you look twice... A seriously chic bag with just the right amount of attitude.
Its story
An African-style fabric, printed in China, with a distinctly French motif... quite a programme!
Beyond its undeniably powerful aesthetic, it got me thinking about globalisation and cultural appropriation — two subjects that matter a great deal to me (especially the latter). It was only fitting that it should join the “Memory” collection of the “Cogitations” range.
I was looking for a fabric worthy of a pattern that had caught my eye when it came out a few months earlier. By chance, I found this wax-style piece and knew immediately it was the one.
I say “wax-style” because it is clearly inspired by wax fabric, but does not technically qualify as one — it is printed rather than painted or dyed.
It was all the more perfect because I'd had these little scraps of pink leather for two years, unable to use them — not every pink goes with every pink, and I am very particular about mixing shades of the same colour... and this was exactly the right one. 😍
The black leather that accompanies it is rich in tone and texture, and I love the “marking” I deliberately kept on the base of the bag.
Several hours later: a bag that is very much like you — chic, bold, and self-assured... without forgetting to be prac(tic)al.
