Balenciaga introduces its new limited edition porcelain figurines that are carefully crafted by hand. These are modeled after both Minttu Vesala and Aki Nummela and their respective lenses on the Fall 2021 Couture capsule by the fashion house.
These are made at the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory in Munish and it is notably one of the few remaining handcrafted porcelain makers ever. They are dressed to reflect their counterparts in real life as well for an impressively artful look. In addition to the figurines is a minimally designed candle that is packaged inside of a rounded mirror-polished silver tin. It boasts notes of old paper, tanned leather, oak, aged wool, burnt incense, tobacco smoke, and more.
