THE RESTING EMPRESS PURSE

At first glance this piece appears as a quiet luxury accessory, yet within its weave lives an echo of cultural exchange.

The purse reinterprets Bernhard Cullmann’s 19th-century painting “Auf Diwan Ruhende Orientalin” (“Oriental Woman Resting on a Divan”), recontextualized through DAP LUXE’s lens as a portrait of sovereignty.
