 The New Collection release keeps going on Lantern Bug's shop (and if you haven't sign up yet to the facebook event, do it now!). Last monday's set of three bobbypins "Purpurin" has made its spot on the shop, and today's the turn of the colorful pouch "Sunny Stream". 

Sunny Stream - new pouch
100% handmade by Lantern Bug

Catch the glamour of summer days with the joyful colors of Sunny Stream pouch!
Two differently striped faces animate the pearly white cinz body: schocking pink, bright orange and lemon yellow catch your eyes in a summer of love daydream.
The handle is composed of three stripes, drawing on the decorative pattern of both front and back of the handbag. On top, an orange zipper as a closure, while inside a satin white lining welcomes your belongings in.

Afferra il fascino dei giorni d'estate con la coloratissima Sunny Stream!
Due pattern a strisce movimentano sia il fronte che il retro della pochette in cinz: rosa shocking, arancione brillante e giallo limone catturano lo sguardo in una spirale dal sapore decisamente estivo.
Il manico è composto da tre fettucce in cotone che riprendono il motivo decorativo del corpo della borsetta; la parte superiore è chiusa da una pratica zip di colore arancione, mentre l'interno è interamente foderato in raso bianco.

Then, after the mysterious picture posted some nights ago, I have to declare my renewed love for paper! It's been my very first love as a child, I used to draw every day and craft with paper whichever thing came up in my mind, from dolls' dresses to origami, puppets, fancy costumes for myself and so on. 

I am currently exploring this material again, and I am trying to turn its light and delicate nature into something more structural and someway "practically livable", always keeping in mind the eco-sustainability issue. 

Further news and pictures are going to illustrate this new creative path of mine, as it goes on. So, stay tuned if you're curious!
