LADY MOSQUITO

Vacide Erda Zimic
Of Turkish and Croatian origin, Vacide was born in Lima, Peru in 1974, and studied arts at the Universidad Católica in Lima.
She started her workshop in 2001, experimenting in different fields, such as cabinet design, photography and illustration workshops. She now focuses mainly in designing accessories with recycled materials.
Her work is a combination of different types of textiles, which she recycles from excess fabric waste. She transforms them into fashionable accessories, using different techniques, like knit, tie, paste, roll, etc.
She works with different materials such as carpet, felt, recycled rubber, cardboard covered with cloth, among others.
Her main inspiration is to see how something that is considered to be waste can be recycled to bring the best out of it and converted into an accessory or a piece that can be worn.
Vacide’s pieces have been exported to the United States (Garnethill, Ebelladesign, The Phillips Collection, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum), Canada, London, Bolivia, Paraguay, Mexico and Spain
(2008 Iberoamerican Design Biennial).

Felted Works by Peruvian Designer Vacide Erda

Peruvian designer Vacide Erda makes very creative, colorful jewelry and bags by hand from the felt used to make traditional Andean women's hats. Erda gets the felt hats before they are glued, cuts them by hand, and creates the triangles you see on this bag (left), one by one, before attaching them to the bag. She makes all kinds of lovely small felt bags and clutches, too, which you can see on her blog, Artificio. Erda makes a variety of very feminine felt collars and necklaces, too, like the red collar below. Some of Erda's jewelry is made from the felt hat scraps - which she will cusomize by color. I love that Erda has creations that can work for most any occasion or mood. Would you wear these items? If you see something you like, you can order it by email on Artificio.
