Aiming to transfer the brand's distinctive workmanship and aesthetic guidelines into a high-end bag range with "a feeling of contemporary and ageless elegance," Italian footwear company Aquazzura debuted its first collection of bags at Paris Fashion Week.
Consequently, a range of day-to-night forms without logos was created, including clutches, totes, and a little hobo bag. The brand has removed exterior branding to "[underpin] the uniqueness of the designs" and has instead opted for a pineapple symbol and logo as "a finishing touch."
The bags were designed in Tuscany, Italy, with premium materials in shades like green, blue, yellow, black, camel, white, sunset, and silver. The brand's website, stores, and a small number of retailers, such as Net-a-Porter, Mytheresa, Browns, and Level Shoes Dubai, all have the range for sale.
