This season, my hometown was my biggest inspiration - specifically it's almost perennial blue skies and incredible sunsets.
If you've been following me for a while, you know my designs are based on the concept of modern sophistication: a blend of Italian elegance and everyday functionality, achieved by mixing classic minimalist handbag shapes with beautifully coloured leathers that are lightweight, easy to clean, and utterly modern. Because who doesn’t want a little Italian style in their wardrobe?
Our signature contrast suede lining, a firm pillar of the brand’s DNA is flanked by a capsule collection of pink and black embossed leather which feels edgy and modern and luxuriously sporty because, in my mind, today’s woman is busy, active and totally empowered. She is looking for handbags and accessories that are effortlessly stylish but also functional and practical. With our small leather goods collection, I added a layer of practical little luxuries that can be added to your purse or handbag, or as a standalone, whether it be a minimal tablet pouch, a colourful make-up pouch, or a multi purpose Store All bag.
Italians have this amazing quality of looking stylish and well dressed for any occasion. They also have very good lifestyle values: a well-balanced diet, a generally cheerful disposition, and they know how to take a break. Namely, the afternoon siestas, month-long holidays in summer, you get the idea. I have never seen a country that has a healthier, and more well-balanced lifestyle than the Italians. So this Spring, let’s all live a little more like an Italian!
