A material reimagined—transformed through process and intention.

This crossbody bag is crafted from upcycled aluminum ring pulls, sourced and refined in Mexico, then woven into a signature chainmail-inspired textile. Each tab is individually selected—nearly 30% are discarded due to imperfections—ensuring only the strongest and most refined elements move forward.

The chosen pieces are meticulously washed, clipped, filed, and polished before being finished in a gold tone through painting or anodizing. Only then are they hand-assembled, link by link, into a fluid, structured surface that feels both industrial and elevated.

Lightweight yet resilient, the bag carries the memory of its origin while taking on an entirely new form—designed to move with you, from day into evening.

An object of reinvention—where waste becomes adornment.

Every La Lune Vintage Finds piece has been hand selected by designer Martine Ilana with intention and care—sourced from across the world in search of objects with material integrity, history, and lasting relevance. No two are chosen at random; each is considered for how it can be worn, lived with, and kept over time.
