Tarihçe
Jasmin Larian Hekmat founded Cult Gaia in 2012. The brand gained significant cultural recognition in 2016 with the Ark bag, a bamboo clutch inspired by Japanese picnic baskets. This item became a prominent example of the 'it-bag' phenomenon driven by social media visual culture. Cult Gaia's role in fashion history involves bridging the gap between accessible luxury and avant-garde sculpture, influencing the shift toward geometric, non-traditional materials in mainstream accessory design.
