The Jelly Firkin
The maison's signature silhouette: notched flap, padlock-style clasp, round topstitched handles, key charm. Its material, a frosted translucent TPU, lets the contents be guessed without revealing them, resists water and wipes clean with a damp cloth — that is what sets today's jelly bags apart from the PVC of the 2000s. Format 35 × 27 cm, twelve shades dyed through the material: Cherry, Cherry Blush, Blush, Sunset, Butter, Mint, Sky, Lagoon, Lilac, Lavender, Pearl and Onyx.
