About the Iris

The iris has long been admired for its elegant petals and striking silhouette. Across many cultures, it symbolizes wisdom, hope, courage, and admiration. Its distinctive form and rich colors have inspired artists, designers, and craftspeople for centuries. The iris represents both strength and grace, making it a meaningful motif for personal accessories and thoughtful gifts.

Inspiration

This collection was inspired by the natural beauty of blooming irises and the enduring value of traditional handcraftsmanship. Rather than relying on molds or mass production, each flower is individually carved from vegetable-tanned leather using traditional leather sculpting techniques. Every petal is carefully textured, dyed, and shaped by hand to create depth and movement. At Lemonschunks, we believe handmade objects carry a unique warmth and story, transforming an everyday accessory into a collectible piece of wearable art.

Care & Notes

Each flower is individually handcrafted and may vary slightly in color, shape, texture, and petal details. These variations are natural characteristics of handmade art and make every piece unique.

Because each flower is hand-dyed, color tones may differ slightly between batches. Similar to hand-dyeing textiles, exact color replication is not possible.

The flower color may appear more purple under warm lighting and more blue under cool lighting due to the nature of the dyes and leather surface.

The leather petals are carefully shaped to appear delicate and lightweight, but they are slightly firmer than real flower petals due to the structural properties of leather.

For the bag charm version, avoid wearing it in rainy weather. Genuine leather naturally absorbs moisture, which may affect the shape and firmness of the petals. Avoid contact with alcohol-based solvents and harsh chemicals.

When not in use, the flower can be displayed inside a glass dome or display case as a decorative art piece.

Gentle Reminder

This is an original handcrafted artwork rather than a mass-produced product. Each piece requires extensive manual labor and craftsmanship, with a production period of up to 30 days. Please review all details carefully before purchasing, as handmade custom pieces are not eligible for return or exchange.
