Wooden handbags are not something that's often seen, which is what makes the collection from L’Essence des Bois especially captivating.
The company, which is located in the North of France, employed the talents of a renowned cabinet maker by the name of Vincent Louchard to create the products -- allowing him to experiment with the material he's so accustomed to using in a brand new way.
Although some might assume that wooden handbags would be cumbersome to carry and potentially problematic to use, Vincent Louchard's design allows for the products to be secure, easily opened and full of storage space. In order to tribute the interesting use of material, he leaves it exposed on the wooden handbags, making the products eye-catching yet subtle enough to incorporate with everyday ensembles.
