🌌 Concept & Design

Every structure begins with a connection.

The NODE FRAGMENT Tangular Clutch is an everyday object assembled from fragments of fabric and metal. This piece emerges from intersecting lines of steel, where individual elements meet at sharp angles, diverge, and become part of a linear, architectural form.

It is a striking structural accessory that seamlessly combines a brutalist rectangular steel framework with a unique handmade textile, meticulously composed of fabric offcuts and production leftovers. 

As an extension of the Pre-consumer Upcycling series by KIKTEVA, this clutch explores a sustainable direction where materials that could have become waste are transformed into a new horizontal structural object.

Inspired by grids, urban geometry, and industrial networks, this piece transforms raw wire and textile fragments into wearable art. A tactile trace of the hidden, multilayered urban environment.

Part jewelry, part artifact from the Urban Fantasy universe of KIKTEVA.

✨ Key Features

Handcrafted Rectangular Architecture & 100% Unique Handmade Textile: The linear steel framework is assembled entirely through hand welding and hand finishing. Each textile surface is also created completely by hand. Because of this intricate artisan process, no two metal connections, structural compositions, or rich textures can ever be repeated exactly. Your clutch is truly one of a kind.

Eco-Conscious Upcycling: The textured exterior fabric is crafted from premium production leftovers, reducing waste and giving high-quality materials a second life.

Dual-Sided Functionality & Cord Weaving: This clutch features a unique dual-sided construction with two separate zippered compartments (a larger one tailored for your phone, and a smaller one for essentials). The handmade fabric body is meticulously and firmly hand-woven directly into the rectangular steel perimeter frame with a custom cord, merging textile art and metal architecture into a flawless bond.

To preserve both the delicate handmade textile structure and the steel framework of your NODE FRAGMENT Tangular Clutch, please follow these simple rules:

Spot Clean Only: Gently wipe the textile surface and steel framework with a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge the clutch in water, and avoid using liquid metal cleaners.

Avoid Moisture & Chemicals: Keep your artifact away from water, heavy moisture, perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals to protect the dark metallic finish and fabric integrity.

Maintain Structural Form: Avoid overloading the clutch with excessively heavy or bulky objects to preserve its architectural shape and hand-welded connections.
