5 years Lies Mertens
For the fifth anniversary of Lies Mertens, we invited 26 customers who already owned and used one of our bags into the studio.
Many designs grew from conversations with people around us: what they carry, how they move through a day and what they miss in the objects they already use.
For this series, we wanted to reverse that process and look at what happens after a bag leaves the atelier. The portraits became a record of the first five years of the brand through the people who carried our bags.
