The Rara Avis

RARA AVIS — KOORELOO × THANASIS LALAS

A meeting of art, fashion and Greek creativity.

Rara Avis is a special KOORELOO creation born from a collaboration with renowned Greek artist Thanasis Lalas. For this piece, KOORELOO selected one of the artist’s original works and reimagined it through the language of the brand, transforming the artwork into a vibrant, wearable canvas.

The expressive lines, unexpected forms and powerful colours of Lalas’ art come together with KOORELOO’s distinctive craftsmanship, rich textures and signature details, creating a bag where art is no longer confined to the wall — it becomes something to carry, experience and make your own.

Its name, Rara Avis — Latin for rare bird — reflects the spirit of the piece: unconventional, expressive and unmistakably individual.

More than a handbag, Rara Avis is a meeting point between two creative worlds. A celebration of art, craftsmanship and the courage to be different.

All Kooreloo creations are exclusively handmade with love and passion using traditional and delicate materials which require sensible care.

To maintain the original quality of your item, we recommend the following:                                 

- Store your goods in the Dust Bag provided to keep it dust-free and protected when it is not being used.

- Leather is a unique, natural and porous material. Avoid plastic bags or any other nonporous cases for extended periods of storage.

- Avoid long-term exposure to heat, humidity and sunlight.

- Do not submerge your bag into water and avoid direct contact with hard chemicals as this might stiffen your leather, fabric or fabric/leather item.

- Do not wash your item in a washing machine.

- Due to the nature of the material, only Specialist Dry Cleaning is suggested for leather, fabric/leather, suede/leather, sheepskin and fabric (wool, cotton, etc.) bags. Professional cleaning services are highly recommended to remove any stains or dirt.

- Keep the bag away from any detergents and cleaners as well as any liquids and oily products that could cause stains and damage.

- Do not overload your bag with very heavy or pointy items.

- The woven fabric edges of your bag are delicate and should be treated with care. Yarns, fibers and threads may fray with use. Please do not worry. This is normal and only adds to the unique beauty of the traditional fabric bag you have purchased. Under no circumstances do frayed edges result in your bag coming apart. If you do not like fibers sticking out from the edges, you can remove them by gently snipping them. We always suggest a brief communication with us at info@kooreloo.com to guide you through before proceeding.
