Robert Lee Morris Gold Plated Long Leaf Pin

This Robert Lee Morris Gold Plated Long Leaf Pin is part of a large themed group created in the late 1980’s called The Garden. These flower and vegetation pins were also used as the hardware on the new handbag collection that Morris launched in 1988. The handbags were primarily soft black Napa leather, with signature iconic matte gold plated hardware, and the collection was sold initially through Saks Fifth Avenue. All these pins/hardware designs, were carved from wax by Morris himself, displaying a unique style that is bold and spontaneous. What is most unusual about this leaf pin is how long it is, how dramatic and striking it is at 7.4″ long. The entire form is arched, curved and alive. The scale is a trademark of Morris and his runway style. Bold and impossible to miss this is for the dedicated fashionista!
