The hidden meaning of the object

Halfway between Paris and Odessa, the traveler's gaze falls upon the wooden architecture of the Carpathians. Ample roofs stand out against the snow, majestically covering refuges and chalets, like a dress studded with a thousand scales. The Ambre handbag embodies their organic features: the omnipresence of natural materials, the timelessness of the design, and traditional craftsmanship.
Designed to be passed down, Ambre is the first accessory by Meleniewska.
