Discover a New Facet of the Italian Brand
This event showcases the Spring/Summer 2015 collection, centered on the concept of asymmetry, a hallmark of "new classics." Iconic models, blending simple beauty with exceptional functionality, will be available in a wide array of colors.
A highlight is the capsule collection, a collaboration with Italian designer Martino Gamper, known for his 2007 project "100 Chairs in 100 Days." This collection, making its debut in Japan, sees Gamper freely reinterpreting the brand's classic items as if on a blank canvas. Through leather collages that create a 3D effect, he has crafted bags that are both modern and uniquely original.
During the event, customers who purchase bags priced at ¥216,000 or more (tax included) will receive a special gift. Additionally, a complimentary initial engraving service will be offered for purchases of small leather goods, making it a visit well worth your while.
