The story behind the Kelly Pochette
The Kelly as a small, box-like clutch, with the Kelly flap, straps and turn-lock and a top handle.
Discover Wallets, Clutches, PochettesThis influence is subtly encapsulated in a subliminal Riot motif woven into the print, adding a touch of rebellion to the overall aesthetic.
The intricate designs of the Pochette do more than merely please the eye. They carry a vast spectrum of meanings, from religious to political symbolism, as well as nods to traditional tribal patterns. The Riot motif serves as an eloquent homage to the post-election and religious upheavals that the nations, which gave birth to the artwork, have endured.
