Yotoco Clutch. Inspired on a headdress frontal from Yotoco, Colombia. An elaborate ornament worn in 1st-‐7th Century. This ornament expressed the wealth and status of the wearer. It’s design is a simple version of this ornament. Under the supervision of the designer Vivian Perezmella at Fiori Colección, a leading manufacturer of leather goods in Dominican Republic, I personally designed and oversaw the assemblage of this clutch. The centerpiece of this clutch was made by Julian Rodríguez, a Dominican craftsman, in silver.
