Lutz Morris showcases Cameroonian artisanship
Luxury leathergoods brand Lutz Morris has partnered the Jean-Félicien Gacha Foundation, a Cameroonian non-profit established by Hermès family members Ly and Frédéric Dumas.
Lutz Morris is currently on a mission to transition 100% of its leather supply over to fully traceable stocks after joining hands with Spoor last year.
For this collaboration, it said artisans associated with the foundation were “given free rein” to create a special embroidery design for limited-edition versions of its pouch-style Blaine handbag, which can variously be worn cross-body, on the shoulder or as a clutch.
Leather panels on the lid and at the front were subsequently hand-embroidered with glass beads in Cameroon, which the brand described as “in keeping with [the country’s] long-lasting handicraft tradition”. All proceeds will be donated to the foundation, it added. The €690 bag is available in four colourways: carob, blue, pink and ivory.
