ithelicy's New Creations: Bringing Imagination to Life



“ithelicy” is a bag brand born from an abbreviation of “in the policy.” While they don't adhere to seasonal themes, this season too, they propose coordinated looks that focus on “how bags are carried and their balance when worn.”

This season's key colors are black and white, with yellow as a point color. Pig leather, treated with a special shrink process, creates a new texture.

The designers describe their work as, “We find fulfillment when we bring our imaginings to fruition.” They continuously draw inspiration from things that catch their eye or that they simply like, channeling their experience and skills to create “bags that are not too high-fashion, not too basic, yet are special.”

Unique Details and Colors in Every Piece



The “Sisko” model uses glossy cowhide, accented with a lock clasp from deadstock British materials, which are now difficult to obtain. The combination of leather and hardware creates a fashion-forward clutch bag.

The two-way tote bag, “Delfina,” is surprisingly lightweight despite its appearance. It features unique details like different handle designs on the front and back, and a zip-like opening. It also boasts ample storage with a wide gusset and practical features like a key hook.

The duffel-style Boston bag, “Ruth,” has a charming rounded form and a subtle sheen. The opening is wide when the zip is unfastened, allowing for easy access. It comes with a detachable shoulder strap.

The “ita mini” is a mini Boston bag with a distinctive shape that flares out at the sides. The opening is wide when the zipper is unfastened, and it can also be used as a shoulder bag with the addition of a strap.

The duffel-style Boston bag, “Clarissa,” is appealing for its wide-opening zipper, making it easy to pack and unpack.
