TETHYS & the pool creatures

Collection of high-end bags, accessories, and ready-to-wear pieces made from upcycled inflatable toys*.
As this material cannot be recycled, the «skins» of exotic animals in PVC are worked here as genuine hides, using traditional and ancestral techniques such as leather craftsmanship and patchwork.

...

Products certified cruelty-free.
The Tethys collection was presented at the Pernod Ricard Foundation as an exhibition (May 12–18, 2022) and then sold at Galeries Lafayette Champs Elysées (September 7–October 15, 2022).
Every single piece is entirely made in my parisian studio.
*In Greek mythology, Tethys (Ancient Greek: Τηθύς) was a Titan daughter of Uranus and Gaia, a sister and wife of the Titan Oceanus, and the mother of the river gods and the Oceanids. Known to be the goddess of Marine life’s fertility.
