Philip Karto · NFE.01

ROSE


METAMORPHOSIS — ROSE

A symbol of beauty shaped through desire and transformation.

ROSE explores the tension between fragility and strength through one of the most timeless symbols of beauty. Representing desire, emotion, and renewal, the rose brings a more intimate and romantic expression to the Metamorphosis capsule while preserving the raw character of Philip Karto’s work.

Executed entirely by hand, the composition balances softness with intensity, transforming the surface of the bag into a singular expression of beauty, imperfection, and reinvention.

Built upon an authenticated vintage Hermès Birkin foundation, each piece is dismantled, artistically transformed, and reconstructed by hand in the Philip Karto Atelier in Miami.

No two executions are identical.
