Ricotta Smok, positioned within Atelier Emine’s Crystal Gelato Couture series, stands out with its sculptural form language, dense crystal weave texture, and sophisticated carrying ergonomics as a top-handle mini bag design.
The bag body is crafted entirely by hand using 8 mm standard round-cut optical crystal beads woven one by one with high-strength monofilament fishing line. Thanks to the homogeneous arrangement of the crystals, uninterrupted light refraction is achieved across the surface, while the weave density gives the bag a self-supporting balanced structure.
The body is structured based on a soft cubic form. This form offers a sculptural stance when carried by hand and ensures maximum efficiency in internal volume. The crystal weave top-handle strap at the top section is designed integrated with the body and optimized for weight distribution and ergonomics during hand carrying.
The product features an open top structure that remains closed through the natural weight and form balance of the crystal weave without using a closure mechanism. This choice supports the design's minimal and couture character while ensuring aesthetic integrity without disrupting the continuity of the crystal surface.
The internal structure is reinforced with industrial supportive materials to ensure the long-term form retention of the crystal weave. Ricotta Smok is one of the timeless and strong pieces of the collection with its compact volume, high workmanship density, and refined form language.
