This bag is part of the Roads Collection, iSOUR Bag – ROADS SS25 Collection
Name Meaning:
Named after the ancient coastal city of Sour (Tyre), this bag pays tribute to architectural heritage and the curving topography of a place where history and the sea meet.
Concept:
The SOUR bag embodies fluidity and strength like the winding roads and soft arches of Tyre’s old city. Its design mirrors the feeling of walking through age-old streets where every turn reveals a new story.
Visual Motifs:
Curved stitching reminiscent of topographic lines on a map
Mapped leather paths that guide the eye across the surface
Arched silhouettes echoing historical Roman colonnades and sea-swept windows
Mix of matte and polished textures to suggest time-worn stone and sunlit waves
Colors:
Sky beige, sea blue, terracotta brown accented with a bold electric orange lining as a hidden surprise, like sunlight catching a corner street in Tyre.
Functionality:
Soft but structured form. Spacious but elegant. A traveler’s essential whether wandering a city or heading somewhere new.
While sketching next to the arches of the old city of Tyr, the handle’s curve mirrored that historic shape graphic, symbolic, and grounding. Bold stitching runs through the design, like the roads we travel.
Inside, a detachable pouch carries a hidden printed message:
“From Tyr’s arches to the roads of the world.”
Every bag is handcrafted in Lebanon from leftover Italian leather, making it truly one of a kind. A tribute to memory, heritage, and the journey ahead.
