Guardian. Life — Hand-Painted Leather Tote Bag
“Guardian” Collection by IRIADE
Where to find: https://ornamentaliastudio.etsy.com
A one-of-a-kind hand-painted leather tote bag, entirely handcrafted in Galicia, Spain — from the original pattern and every stitch to the final brushstroke.
At the heart of the design is “Pryanik”, one of the oldest compositions in traditional Khokhloma painting, a Russian folk-art tradition with a history spanning more than 300 years.
The artist calls “Pryanik” a Russian mandala — a symbolic image of the world in which ancient masters expressed ideas of the sun, earth, fertility, health, love, and the strength of the family lineage.
Each composition is unique and never repeated. The ornament is created freely by hand, without tracing or copying, turning every bag into a one-of-a-kind work of decorative art.
Guardian. Life
This model is painted in the traditional red, black, and gold Khokhloma palette.
Red symbolizes vitality, warmth of the heart, love, and creative energy.
“Guardian. Life” was conceived as a contemporary talisman — a reminder of the inner strength that carries us through our own journey.
The bag brings together three cultural traditions:
• the ancient symbolic language of Slavic ornament
• the Russian tradition of decorative painting
• the centuries-old Galician craftsmanship of working with leather
IRIADE is a meeting place for traditions that continue to live in the modern world.
