This week’s selection is the COMETE Bag by Laura Deweilde and Thomas Batigne.
This is a fashion item, but it has a very interesting use case: it’s starring in the Netflix series “Emily in Paris” during season 4.
Deweilde is the founder and designer at INCXNNUE, a fashion house based in, you guessed it, Paris. The firm markets a series of high-end bags, often with very unusual designs. One of them is the COMETE.
Deweilde explained:
“For this new creation, the idea was to work on more organic forms with floral inspiration. Thinking back to a floral pattern that I had already modeled, I wanted to go further in terms of creativity and experimentation. By collaborating with Thomas, we were able to transform this exciting and innovative project. With Lynxter, merging organic design with a purer and more architectural form was a beautiful challenge successfully met for this creation, with, notably, a post-search and a studied assembly of this new bag.”
The bag is mostly 3D printed using Lynxter’s silicone capabilities. Lynxter said:
“The 3D-printed flowers, made from silicone and grape anthocyanins, are inspired by fragments of the universe, adding an organic and futuristic touch to the design. These floral elements are finely printed on the S300X – LIQ21 | LIQ11 and then integrated into this new leather design, evoking the lines and shape of a spaceship.”
Silicone is a relatively rare material in the 3D print universe due to the scarcity of machines that can print the flexible material. Silicone is ideal for flexible objects, which are almost a necessity for fashions, including the COMETE bag.
It seems that the bag was not specifically designed for the Netflix production, but instead was selected by the production company as a prop in the series.
In other words, you can buy one of these bags yourself, as they are on sale at the INCXNNUE site at a price of €520 (US$786), either in black or red.
