This piece captures the shrike, a bird known for its intense clarity and focus. Set among vivid yellow flowers that blaze against a dark blue background, the scene is a composition of contrast—light against shadow, fragility against strength.
Rwayda’s work balances delicacy and boldness in every thread. Anette’s saddle-stitching gives the full-grain leather its timeless form, creating a strong home for the art. It is a bag that feels both striking and serene.
