Isaac Sellam
Escroc Shoulder Bag

Operating out of his Parisian atelier since 2002, Isaac Sellam has dedicated his practice to the surgical modification of leather. The designer treats the material as a living substrate for chemical and structural experimentation. This approach manifests in the application of rigorous surface treatments, ranging from traditional within the niche object-dyeing to complex heat-reactive and reflective coatings that fundamentally alter the visual properties of the leather, as seen in the Neophyte Reflective Copper Padded Parka.

A signature element of the brand’s history is the utilisation of industrial reinforcement. Using a distinctive stapling technique, originally developed to ensure extreme durability, metal components such as conveyor belt clips are fused directly with the organic hide. This method creates a rigid, spine-like articulation visible in his asymmetric jackets, effectively merging the biological texture of the material with the cold precision of metal.
