Rafé Maryanne Faceted minaudiere.
Handbag designer Rafé Totengco is the definition of a jet-setter. In the past year alone, he has vacationed in Honolulu, Manila, Berlin, Mallorca, Prague, Venice, Jodpur, Capri, Lisbon and Bali. Each trip not only served as an escape from the office, but a design cultivation journey in search of inspiration from local art, architecture and geography. A recent trip to China and a stop at the Shanghai World Fair resulted in a glamourous evening clutch. The design of Totengco’s Maryanne minaudiere is a handheld interpretation of architect Carlos Couto’s Portuguese Pavilion, the structure Portugal developed for the expo.
Totengco's interpretation of Couto's building was created with faceted hammered brass and stainless steel.
