ArtKorero is proud to present British artist Debra Franses, also known as ArtBag. Having exhibited her work in cities around the world, the acclaimed creative brings her one-of-a-kind resin works, shaped like popular handbags, to Dubai for the first time. When confronted by an Artbag you are seeing a moment in time where seemingly random objects float motionless, encased in a transparent crystalline bag.
Hugely popular with celebrities, Birkin bags are one of the rarest and most iconic handbags in the world, being only obtainable by joining an exclusive wait-list. The design of the bags was born out of a legendary plane journey in 1983, when actress and style icon Jane Birkin spilled the contents of her straw tote in front of Jean-Louis Dumasl. They are now the ultimate symbol of luxury; indeed, they are currently regarded by many sources, including Time magazine, as a better investment than gold.
