The Evolution of the Horizontal Slashed Clutch

First introduced as part of LINDASIETO’s Cut & Fold collection in 2011, the Horizontal Slashed Clutch is one of the earliest expressions of the studio’s sculptural leather language. Defined by repeated horizontal slashes across a folded leather surface, the design explored negative space as both as a visual pattern of dramatic play of light and shadow, and also as a functional opening to envelope the wearer's hand.

In its original form, the clutch belonged to a wider world of sculptural accessories shaped by slashes, folds and architectural simplicity. The repeated wider and thinner cuts created a dramatic rhythm across the spacious leather surface while interacting directly with the hand and body.

In 2017, the design was revisited in a cleaner, more minimal form. The construction became more distilled, allowing each horizontal slash to appear with more visual weight, while preserving the original gesture and overall silhouette of the piece.
