Homeric Garden Print Portfolio

Homeric Garden Print Portfolio

Ancient Florentine books inspire a collection of portfolios, decorated with refined prints resembling leather-bound covers. The shape of the bag enhances this perception, with a gusseted construction that mimics pages of a book, and a print intended to appear as the spine of a book featuring the word "Serapide"—a reference to the ancient Greek deity. The fascination for classical mythology also reflects in the elaborated print contrasting a navy leather base. Designed to resemble the outlined figures decorating ancient Greek pottery, winged horses, lions and eagles mix with delicate flowers in the Homeric Garden motif.
