L.H.D.O.R.

A bag that unfolds like an envelope, revealing a hidden world inside. A wallet that stretches beyond its form. A doctor’s bag—not for scalpels and syringes, but for tools to open the mind. A leather-bound book that cannot be placed on a shelf. Some pieces bear crawling ants, hand-painted onto the surface, bringing movement to stillness. Because in this world, things are not always what they seem.

L.H.D.O.R. is a homage to the artistic vanguards of the early 20th century—a nod to the absurdity of Dadaism and the dreamlike logic of Surrealism. Its name plays with perception—an intentional distortion of L’Âge d’Or, referencing Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dalí, and Marcel Duchamp, among others—figures who shattered convention and redefined reality.

Each piece in the collection carries a message—or none at all—like a riddle waiting to be unraveled. The names of the bags draw directly from the spirit of Dada, with references such as Da-Dandy, abcd, B.L.L.N. (a nod to Belle Haleine, Eau de Voilette, Duchamp’s ready-made), and Sélavy, among others.

This collection was also captured on Super8 film by Mar Ordoñez, inspired by Dalí’s method, "The Slumber with a Key"—a technique for entering the liminal state between wakefulness and sleep. In this fleeting moment, perceptions and sensations resurface as raw inspiration, transforming into a sequence of surreal visions.

L.H.D.O.R. presents object-bags and assemblages that blur the line between function and illusion. Shapes evoke books, letters, and envelopes, while hand-painted ants by artist Evelyn Bracklow add an element of the unexpected. The palette remains rich and enigmatic—black, deep browns, and dark green—contrasted by hand-marbled leather interiors that echo the swirling unpredictability of dreams.

Because logic is overrated.
And a book should never be judged by its cover.
