This piece draws its spirit from the hoopoe, a bird woven into myth across continents: a symbol of war in Nordic tales, of prosperity in the Middle East, and the wise messenger of King Solomon.
Here, Rwayda’s embroidery captures two in conversation, their feathers alive with individual stitches. Anette’s meticulous saddle-stitching gives the strong Belgian leather its enduring form. It is a bag that feels both solid and radiant, grounded in craft yet alive with small, discovered details.
