If gorgeous gold hardware and butter-soft leather get you going, Haerfest's latest collection will make you say hubba-hubba. Inspired by artists like Donald Judd and Frank Stella, Haerfest approaches design with a minimalist's careful eye. And now, as part of its AE ("Alpha Experiment") Projects side gig, Haerfest has expanded into its first women-specific foray: two OC exclusives––the backpack and briefcase––in miniature version.
Think a bite-size candy bar in bag form, with a less is more approach. "I don’t think simplicity necessarily means simple. We try to find a balance between creating forms that are really familiar and focusing on the design details that allow us to make things a little unexpected, " the designer Tim Joo told Opening Ceremony during a studio visit in April.
For fall, this means a reptile embossed leather mini briefcase that functions as the perfect purse you can rock from the office to the bar to the art opening. And a reptile embossed leather mini backpack with an attachable, adjustable strap, so you can wear it like a crossbody bag. And done in lipstick-red and onyx, we can bet Haerfest fan and stylish babe Olivia Munn will want to nab a few for herself.
