A breakfast with clutch and shopping bag organized by Elena Ghisellini at Mandarin Oriental during the Milan Fashion Week. The classic cat-shaped handbags and the new materials chosen are the protagonists, a line dedicated to the woman of the city who need functionality, but at the same time does not give up the boho chic allure.
Clean lines and care for details, never going beyond, to come back to the idea that elegance is first of all simplicity. It is impossible not to notice the Feline hit bag that made the designer famous, but what soul would transmit more elegance to a feline? The novelty are the contrasts of colors: black or white base with multicolor details, total denim in different shades or tone sur ton. To choose with the short strap or multicolored intricate leather detail. The Angel model is absolutely the embodiment of the functional and glamorous bag, with its clean lines and size not too big to be never excessive or too small to carry with it all you need. The braided leather handle and the contrast loop are the details that make it unique. The new Spring for Summer 2018 is the Ghost version in transparent gloss with a mini bag inside and the raffia version, which are added to leather, contrasting bicolor or coated prints.
Caddy is the soft-line bag that perfectly embodies the boho spirit of the collection: an ideal crossbody for casual moments, in suede, calfskin and denim patchwork.
Usonia is the queen of the Elena Ghisellini collection: large, soft and super chic, the shopping bag excellently but also the trusted desk companion, able to contain everything needed for the office, post work and also a quick shoe change the evening!
Pink monochromatic leather, Camel-colored camouflage, white base with red and blue blue or multicolor denim details.
Nia is the minimal clutch and multitasking: for those who want to bring with only the essential, to hold by hand or inside the Usonia, monochrome leather or with contrast details.
Eclipse, the strap that handles the handbag, stiff and never serious, the detail is the metallic webbing of the handle, the base is neutral, contrasting with pastel tones or red so much loved by the stylist.
Lolita complete the collection, the keychain also to be used as a charm for the bags, a mini super-chic that recalls the colors and contrasts of the collection, accompanied by a diverging skeleton called Bony Boo.
Elena Ghisellini’s collection for spring summer 2018 perfectly matched the wardrobe of the cosmopolitan woman who needs a purse that accompanies her for all her work commitments, after-dinner appetizer, Friday night, and outings weekend door.
