Owl in Mercury

$7,300
Color: Mercury

Owl in Mercury, a reflective metal in the Lumen Alchema series, captures the fluid movement of quicksilver. One of the seven metals of alchemy, Mercury was associated with its planetary namesake. Owl reflects the deep, shadowy hue of the planet itself. 

Precision-cut from solid wood, hand-painted, and finished with exacting care, the bag fuses cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship. Owl is made to be held in hand or worn over the shoulder with the precious metal chain. Each bag is engraved with a unique number and recorded in the Eittem archive. Bags are part of limited runs and accompanied by a card of authenticity, numbered and signed by the hands that made it.
