Chicot
We love the glamour, the wit and the three-dimensional texture of this striking handbag by Emma King. Layers of ‘feathers’ are created individually then knitted on to the body of the bag as you go along. Each feather is finished with a tiny bead, while the handle - which is effectively an oversized buttonhole - is also heavily beaded for a luxurious feel. The bag is worked in three contrasting shades of Rowan’s Cotton Glace, which knits up into a soft and lustrous fabric.
