What makes me special?
Inspired by the ancient murex shells of Carthage, the Murice Crest Bag embodies the essence of AMANAKAL, where Mediterranean heritage meets advanced fashion technology. Its name comes from murice, the Italian word for murex, connecting the designer's Tunisian roots and Italian heritage.
Its sculptural shell is digitally designed and 3D printed using rigid, translucent, corn-based PLA. Rising from a rounded, ribbed base, its fluid walls unfold into organic, wave-like crests, echoing the grooves, folds, and irregular movement of a Mediterranean seashell.
Its Mineral Glow finish reflects the meeting of Tunisia's land and sea. Soft, translucent tones evoke sea foam, salt, and sunlit shells, while golden, earthy, and mineral reflections recall sand, stone, and the warm landscapes of the Tunisian coast. The lower stripe can be created in either Pine Wood PLA, for a warmer organic character, or Oyster Shell PLA, for a softer mineral expression.
Inside, the bag continues the collection's hybrid approach with a drawstring pouch made from handwoven Tunisian Hayek. Biodegradable TPU is 3D-printed directly onto the fabric, seamlessly merging ancestral textile craftsmanship with digital fabrication.
Designed for two carrying methods, the Murice Crest features a sculptural short handle for hand-carrying and a longer strap for wearing over the shoulder. Every Murice Crest Bag is individually printed, sanded, hand-painted and assembled, making each creation unique.
