RARE ODDITY

Introducing “Rare Oddity,” our second exclusive collection. Immerse yourself in a world that has wholly captured our imagination—a realm inspired by the legendary sea women, also known as pearl hunters or the last mermaids. These remarkable women, deeply intertwined with the ocean’s mysteries, bring to life traditional, time-honored fishing techniques passed down through generations. Diving to astonishing depths on a single breath, they scour the ocean floor for treasures like sea urchins, sea snails, and abalone adorned in shimmering pearlescent layers. Their unwavering determination inspires us to push our own boundaries. These enchanting tales offer a fairy-tale promise of uncovering hidden marine treasures, a quest reserved for those brave enough to take the plunge.

The story of these sea women transcends the individual — it embodies a spirit of solidarity, both with each other and the natural world. Ama and Haenyeo teach us to harvest nature’s bounty with restraint and sensitivity, preserving the delicate balance of our oceans and respecting their rhythm.

Within the Rare Oddity collection, we present four distinctive models. These handbags are versatile companions suitable for everyday life as well as statement pieces for special occasions. At the heart of this collection lies the warmth of wood, elegantly gracing the sides of each bag, crafted from American walnut-veneered pine. We continue to explore the possibilities of brass, exemplified by our bespoke brass closures for the Akoya and Hope bags. Our devotion remains steadfast in embracing timeless elegance, clean lines, and practical adornments.
