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.
