Concept: Looking Fly

Moving freely was the ultimate luxury at that moment. We longed for the high of wearing our beloved items out in the open, the self-confidence of looking fly – the feeling of levitating.

Through levitation, we not only metaphorically highlight the elevated status of the wearer, but also physically show off the functionality of the bags in a playful way.

In an ironic twist, we mix Hermès surrealist aesthetic with a Cut N' Paste Style to intentionally shatter the illusion and relate back to the target audiences' need for authenticity.
