Tethys & the Pool Creatures

Tethys & the pool creatures, 2022
TETHYS*, accessories and ready-to-wear collection, made from upcycled inflatable** pool animals. Six type of “animals” are worked in this edition: crocodile, orca, dolphin, flamingo, swan and swim-helpers. Every inflatable is worked as a unique “skin”: leatherwork (cut out & patchwork of skins) is mixed to ready-to-wear techniques creating unique pieces. Cruelty free.
The Tethys collection was presented at the Pernod Ricard Foundation as an exhibition (lien vers l’expo) and then sold at Galeries Lafayette Champs Elysées (September 7–October 15, 2022).
Every piece is unique and entirely made in our parisian studio.
