The Kelp Mini clutch has been designed by Julia Koerner as an ultra-modern fashion accessory that highlights advanced techniques with a naturalistic flair.
The clutch features a kelp-inspired design that is intricate and ornate, and is achieved using 3D printing technology to further highlight the decidedly detailed nature. The purse patterns are based on actual 3D scans of kelp topologies sourced from the Malibu coast in California. The various voids across the purse form allows for a view into the interior, while also reducing the overall weight.
The Kelp Mini clutch maintains a sustainable design thanks to the bioplastics used in its construction for the entire body, but also the closure clasp, hinge and interior pocket.
