[Leeroy New x R2R] Sacred Heart Crossbody Bag Yellow

The Sacred Heart Crossbody Bag combines Leeroy New’s hand-casted silicon hearts with R2R’s artisanal weaves and raffia embroidery.

It comes in three color themes but as every silicon heart is hand-poured and molded, each piece is one-of-a-kind.

About the Collaboration

Leeroy New and R2R are showcasing a series of wearable art pieces that embody a fusion of distinct artistic philosophies and craftsmanship.

R2R brings our ethos of sustainability and cultural storytelling to the collection. Filipino artisans meticulously handcrafted each piece, utilizing upcycled scrap fabrics and raffia.

Leeroy New is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice manifests in large-scale immersive environments, costuming, collaborative performances, and video works driven by concepts of world-building, myth-making, and social change. For this collection, Leeroy integrates one-of-a-kind hand-poured silicon versions of his signature Sacred Heart art pieces and other objects. 

This collection is a dialogue between two creatives, exploring the intersections of the ethereal and the practical, the modern and the traditional, art and utility.

It stands as a testament to the possibilities that emerge when contemporary design meets traditional craftsmanship, offering not just a range of wearable art pieces but a meaningful narrative that bridges diverse creative worlds.
