The Beelzebag - Simon Periton
The Beelzebag by Simon Periton is based on Simon’s iconic image of a fly which he called Beelzebub. The Beelzebag has a sumptuous, reclaimed, brown equestrian leather body and an ornate, decommissioned yellow fire-hose wing. The attention to detail demonstrated throughout the bag makes it a hybrid artwork-handbag.
