Elytre

In the way of a delicate shell with changing reflections, Elytre is a graphic band whose complex twist unfolds as a protective and ornamental structure. The pattern subtly plays with color changes, revealing unexpected contrasts and depths as the crosses occur.

The pattern

About Elytre

Each stitch seems articulated, almost architectural, evoking the rigid and iridescent wings of the insects it bears the name. Both technical and elegant, Elytre is a singular accessory, thought of as a small piece of character — a textile jewel to wear against the forehead when air is more vivid.
