Yael Mer, designer of Raw Edges can be easily awarded a prize for his breathtaking, twisted, original and weird creation.
The head hand bag in its name is the inspired result of the biblical story of Judith and Holofernes, marked up by the Renaissance representation of the whole course of events.
Holofernes was an Assyrian invading general of Nebuchadnezzar, who appears in the deuterocanonical Book of Judith. It was said that the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar dispatched Holofernes to take vengeance on the nations of the west that had withheld their assistance to his reign. The general laid siege to Bethulia, commonly believed to be Meselieh, and the city almost surrendered. It was saved by Judith, a beautiful Hebrew widow who entered Holofernes’s camp and seduced him. Judith then beheaded Holofernes while he was drunk. She returned to Bethulia with the disembodied head, and the Hebrews defeated the enemy. (read more in wikipedia )
But back to Yael Mer, I must admit he knows how to give birth…to controversy. Without further ado, I give you the one and only head hand bag.
