Abacus mini top handle bag
A beaded, sculptural mini bag that reads like jewelry.
The Obsession
The Obsession Edit
Small objects. Total fixation.
Identity, collectibility, desire.
Architectural mini bags, charms worth collecting, jewelry for the handle of a bag. Objects you choose to carry because they say exactly who you are.
How to wear it
Treat the mini bag as jewelry: carry it by hand, clip one charm, never three. Choose one hard shape and one soft texture, and let them argue a little.

From the journal
The mini bag is jewelry now: Small, sculptural and nearly useless, and that is why we want them.
