Wolvis and Aesaert join forces.
The result is a beautiful and unique shopper, The Weekender.
Griet Depoorter (Wolvis) and Griet Aesaert (Aesaert) are both architects, craftswomen, and have been friends for many years. They admire each other's work and have been supporting each other from the sideline for years and now the time has come for them to combine their expertise for a limited edition creation.
About two years ago, the idea for a collaboration arose. The original idea was to create a classic Aesaert bag using a woven canvas designed by Wolvis. It ultimately became a perfect symbiosis of both designers' ideas.
The woven design aligns with the Wolvis SS21 collection, Lieux de Mer, where Depoorter drew inspiration from her childhood memories of the Belgian coast.
The pattern on the bag has its origins in the repetitive but reassuringly familiar apartment complexes along our coastline. I grew up watching these buildings and felt inspired by them. • Griet Depoorter
Like every Aesaert, this bag is elegant and practical. It looks like a simple shopper but is a practical weekend bag equipped with an inner pocket and a ribbon for keys. You can also completely close the bag with a zipper.
Without knowing it, we had the exact same type of bag in mind. The design of the fabric called for a large bag and a weekend bag was my first idea. • Griet Aesaert
The Weekender is available in a limited edition of 50 numbered pieces and can be ordered via the webshop of wolvis and Aesaert.
