Shirley X Lies Mertens
Lies Mertens invites Shirley Villavicencio Pizango for an out-of-the-box collab
After two previous collaborations, we are excited to present you our third limited edition.
Shirley Villavicencio Pizango used Mariko bags for her artworks. The leather handbags became a canvas for the artist to play with, which resulted in a series of 10 unique self-portraits, moving at the intersection of design and art. Each bag is painted by hand and signed by the artist.
On Saturday the 19th of June Shirley will paint 2 bags in our flagship store in Antwerp. Stop by our store, Steenhouwersvest 6, and see this live performance from 2 p.m. onwards!
