Mini bags are all about being practical and hands off

Mini bags normally have two very distinct characteristics (aside from the obvious…size) they have a long crossbody strap which is adjustable and many times removable and they are being see all at every Fashion Week we peek into.  Other than being a fashion statement, these designer petite bags make a women’s life a little bit easier with a bag just a little smaller than 20 cm x 20 cm, the headaches of what to take and what not to take is cut not in half – but to a quarter of its normal size.  We can get a credit card holder – complete with a photo ID and a few big bills :-) , our favorite lipstick, eyeshadow and liner,  our iPhone and a bottle of our favorite scent so we can tantalize those men around us at all hours of the day (and night).

Dress your iPad in Italian Leather

Pierotucci Leather Bags for iPadsAnd why not? You use vegetable tanned leather for your wallets, your designer leather jacket and your messenger bag so why not extend your good taste to include a bag or sleeve designed to house your newest toy – the iPad.  The idea is to protect this piece of high tech from the everyday bumps and bruises while utilizing the bag for other things like your phone, cables, notebooks and whatever else happens to fall in along the way.  Italian leather iPad cases from the Toscanella line offer high quality craftsmanship, elegant lines, sturdy vegetable tanned leather and the extras that make carrying your iPad convenient and easy.

Our first suggestion is the Toscanella messenger bag, with a cotton lined central pocket and internal zip pocket that will easily hold the iPad along with file folders, note pads, cell phone, business cards and writing utensils. On the outside of this all leather messenger bag with adjustable canvas strap are two easy to get to pockets – one of which is open and the other with a secure zip closure.

The next iPad idea is a simple carry all with front buckle. This carrying case looks like a professional business briefcase – but the difference is that with the two interior sections divided by an all cotton lining, makes the ideal area to protect your iPad, Kindle or small laptop (Size cm: W 36 x H 26,50 x D 4,50). The interior has several different organizing pockets for the cell, business cards, pens, keys and a secure zipped pocket for USB keys and other important gadgets. There is also an exterior pocket, secured with a leather strap and snap and lined in a suede like material, which makes it an easy to access holding spot.

The simplest iPad case in the Toscanella line is cut in an envelope style with a top zip for security. The slim size of this bag makes it easy to stash inside a large briefcase while assuring the safety of your iPad or laptop (Size cm: W 35 x H 23 x D 1,50). The top zip has a security snap to make sure it doesn’t slide open, keeping the iPad safe and sound inside. There is an open outside pocket for stashing items like business cards, an extra pen or your flight tickets to the next business meeting.

A FASHION TREND SP/S 2012 PRINT ON THE NEXT LEVEL

One of the color themes for the upcoming season 2012  is the vintage garden floral print from the fashion forecast in textile.

Textile print is not common to see  on the outside of the leather goods. Most of the time the print is created and seen only on the inside lining.   In this case, when there is a printed or floral lining the leather is usually done on solid colors specially earth tones such as brown, black, white, ivory, red, blue, green and in some cases when we are talking about fast fashion,  the manufactures use synthetic leather or plastic to make the production easier and less expensive.

For 2012, designers have taken their inspiration to the next level. They want to offer more options to the clients. A lot of romantic floral textile will be seen on the fashion runway for next season.  Companies are risking by creating prints all over.

Digital Print Campo dei Fiori on Leather

Campo Dei Fiori Wallet

Print over leather is not an easy task to do since the skins are treated differently.  It is a process that has to be done before the skin is ready to use for the construction of the leather goods.  Why is it not common to see printed leather?

One process is digital print on leather and only recently has it been getting more popular by  manufactures and designers.  They are using this technology on shoes, leather garments, accessories and bags.

There are different processes, such as screen printing which is an old technique and digital printing fairly new on the market.   A lot of designers have found the use of digital printer more convenient than the screen printer.  Designers find that digital printing is faster and more desirable since it leaves the leather soft and supple not altering its original state  and  is more durable as opposed to screen printing which has  a longer process  using dye sublimation print and changes the feel of the leather.

Campo dei Fiori Organizing Wallet

Pierotucci uses the new digital printing technique on lamb skin for its Campo dei Fiore collection.  This designer handbag collection was inspired by one of the well known squares in Rome  called Campo dei Fiore, translated it literally means Field of Flowers.   The textile vintage floral print reflects the name of the collection with its floral  print in light colors.   The soft and supple lambskin is also sturdy and resistant, making it ideal for small leather accessories that get continuous use such as wallets, organizers and coin purses.  Pierotucci has focused on using models that are stylish, practical and yet very feminine, making this leather goods ideal for slipping in your larger purse, your luggage  or work out bag.  The designers have chosen to finish the handbags, coin purses and wallets with a solid color accent on pocket lips, around the zipper and button closures.  The collection has a selection of sizes and shapes, they are extremely adaptable, lightweight and the design is clear and appealing.

S/S 2011: Furla’s Cash In On Candy and Pierotucci’s Lucky Break

The main theme of S/S 2011 fashion hasn’t been focused on revolutionary shapes, innovative patterns, or revamped interpretations of a past decade’s popular trend. Instead S/S 2011 has been all about bright, bold, in your face colors. Handbag designers worldwide have pulled out the color palettes, and delved into transient world of shade definition. Balenciaga, always known for their courage with colors is a prime example of the variety of tones we have seen this season. They have showcased a sunshine yellow, military green, deep pink, and blue toned lilac. Their F/W 2011 collection also has one of the most eye popping reds I have ever seen. Balenciaga, though known for their daring colors, isn’t the only brand making a wide color splash this season.  Most premier designers have pulled out the stops on colors, and demanded only the best in artisan dying and tanning.

Furla, a well known label in Europe and Asia, has also followed the trend with their new Candy line. Candy consists of classic bag shapes in brighter than life colors. These are the colors you see on those poisonous tropical fogs! The line is also produced in PVC rubber, which helps clarify the low price tag, but adds weight in comparison to classic leather or straw totes. Furla Candy has been making quite a few heads turn, despite the weight issue. I have seen on various fashion themed forums, as well as received calls here in the factory, concerning the stock, color, and availability of Furla Candy bags. They are also famously cheaper than other premier designer bags, which allows the fashion conscious woman to splurge on a trendy bag for the summer. The Candy colors are also present in their classic leather handbags. The brightness becomes vogue in faux croc, reptile, and pebbled calfskin. A passion fruit faux croc tote would turn my head any day! Candy is also represented in the shoe and sunnies category. Candy’s vivid colors are available in heels and flats, and are reminiscent of Jellies, though with the touch of chic that seems to be incorporated in all “Made In Italy” marks.

At Pierotucci, we somehow unknowingly stumbled onto the color scene as well. Our latest and greatest design, Fortunata, is necessarily produced in a plethora of colors due to the large stock of leather we amassed . For the sake of reaching a more trendy market, we took all these different colors and expanded the palette even further. The majority of our color combinations contrast and highlight the variety of brights and undertones of each bag. Instead of playing it safe by comparing bright body colors with neutral accents, we went bright on bright with select bags. We did however take into account that those bold overlapping colors only work for certain people, ergo bright oranges, yellows, and deep reds are also paired with neutral creams, blacks, and beiges. We are also lucky in the sense that our bags hit the color market at the right time, but with an added amount of utility that most seasonal bags lack.

Every handbag has different uses for different owners, but we like to think of Fortunata as the go to bag for everyday chic. Its large enough to be categorized as a tote when worn by the handles, but also has the option of crossbody and folding if your day’s needs don’t require you to carry along as much. I recently helped a college student pick out a navy patent leather with white accents, and I have to say it is one of the chicest Fortunatas we have. It dresses up plain jeans and a blouse with out looking completely out of place. Furla’s Candy and Balenciaga are also fantasic brands for this affect! So if you can’t afford Balenciaga’s price tag, or can’t bear Candy’s weight, then check out Fortunata!

Susan D.  Born in Dominican Republic and moved to NYC when still a teenager.  She immediately  immersed herself in the fashion market internationally in NYC, not to mention France, Japan, Italy (and the list goes on).  While studying at the Fashion Institute of Tech in NY she had many opportunities to work in the fashion industry.

Models Behind The Scenes

You may think fashion models are just about runway shows, clothes, shoes, bags etc. Yes, all these words are related, but let’s be more realistic. We cannot all be models in the real life, but maybe just with their wardrobe?. A few months ago, I was working for a Fashion industry in the heart of New York city, “the Fashion district”. I found models walking down the streets dressing up very simple. Would you note that they are models? If only because of their height or the way they dress up? I don’t know why, but I love the simplicity on how they put things together. That’s what makes a model. It is all about how to put it in harmonious way. I was looking through some popular websites such as: Style.com, People.com.

Heidi Klum

These sites show models behind the scenes. Heidi Klum is a good example. She is one of our famous top models and host and producer of “Project Runway show”. She has a great style in her daily life outside work. It is simple but she pulled it off nicely. Kokoroyale.com shows a photo while she was walking on the street with a printed sheer blouse,a solid camel hobo leather bag and a pair of sunglasses. They match perfectly. Let’s just think about how much she paid for this complete outfit. Well, It is better not mention it. Let’s go to see what we want to know. I found similar good items of her outfit for a great deal just for $389.00.
