A Picture-Perfect Backpack, Crafted to Perfection
The backpack from the 'Heritage Collection' is a revival of a 1992 design, originally made from canvas. While the material was later changed to nylon with the times, this iconic Felisi backpack became an archive piece as the backpack boom subsided.
This iteration features the same rich, thick cotton canvas as the original release. The heavy canvas, woven from thick cotton threads, develops a unique patina over time, much like aged leather, lending it a nostalgic appeal.
Boston Bags Crafted from Rare Vacchetta Leather
The three styles of Boston bags range from compact designs to wheeled travel versions, each featuring hardware and components meticulously tailored to their respective sizes.
The material used is the rare vacchetta leather that Felisi has employed since its founding. This leather is processed by tumbling it in large barrels for 12 to 16 hours. The resulting shrink process creates a unique texture with a soft feel and subtle wrinkles.
Felisi Fall/Winter 2015 Collection Launches July 24th (Friday)
The theme for the Fall/Winter 2015 collection is 'Escape in elegance.' Expressing sophistication through flowing, gentle lines and exquisite shapes inspired by 'dunes' and 'half-moons,' combined with the use of premium materials, this collection embodies the elegance of the discerning modern individual.
The collection, featuring the 'DUNE Line' with its beautiful curves created through material transitions inspired by sand dunes, and the 'MEZZA LUNA Line' characterized by a flap reminiscent of a half-moon, will be available from July 24th (Friday).
