Collage Techniques, in Leather: Stylish Appliqué Bags by Timrose

Timrose applique leather bags

Yes­ter­day, I raved about the cut-paper cre­ations of Ultra­laz­er, an artis­tic duo that uti­lizes the medi­um to pro­duce flat­tened cas­tles and land­scapes. Tim­rose is anoth­er cre­ative work­ing with the same type of bold shapes in styl­ized ways—but instead of paper, it’s pieces of leather. The material—clad in pink, sil­ver, and tex­tured greens—forms trop­i­cal leaves that are stitched over the flap of the struc­tured bags.

Sleek and styl­ish, the acces­sories are part of Tim­rose’s col­lec­tion called Road To Hana. It was made in col­lab­o­ra­tion with jew­el­ry design Fruzsi Petró and inspired by col­lages and out­sider art—seeing them, I can’t help but be remind­ed of Hen­ri Rousseau’s paint­ings.

They illus­tra­tive bags are cur­rent­ly avail­able through Tim­rose’s online shop.
