Emerging Fervour

Flowers have been an inspiration for many designers and many years. For the forthcoming Spring/Summer 2010 collection Darkest Star have built on this and, from their studies of orchids, have incorporated origami into their work to produce a bag with a three dimensional orchid design. And they have done it beautifully!!

Each orchid is made of one single square of leather, which is then linked with two other orchids to create a geometric pattern which grows and unfolds across the satin nickel framed bag. The classic straight lines form a canvas on which the sculptured orchid shapes are displayed.

And you don’t even have to wait until next Spring to buy it!! ‘The Study of an Orchid’ collection is available to buy on their website www.darkeststar.co.uk
