Project Description

This handmade bag collection is inspired by the world of Game of Thrones — a series that set new standards in television and made costume design and craft part of global culture. For me, the show highlighted the power of embroidery, jewellery, and smithcraft to shape a visual universe that everyone could admire. Each episode felt like a red carpet for creativity.

The idea for bags came first, and I used Game of Thrones references as a way to challenge myself technically and artistically. These embroideries allowed me to refine couture techniques and translate them into functional, wearable pieces. This project was never about “embroidery for the sake of embroidery,” but about blending high-craft details with objects for everyday use. The result is a collection where fantasy and couture meet in practical, hand-made design.
