​​ Having made its debut in the Ready-to-wear Autumn-winter 2016-2017 show, the new runway bag comes entirely embroidered with beads and sequins, in precious skins, or bearing the emblematic cannage motif. Its architectural and singular lines render it instantly timeless.

A short and wide strap allows for it to be worn two ways: on the shoulder it gives a sense of sophisticated allure, and when carried it adds further nonchalance to a relaxed look.

A product of the 30 avenue Montaigne design studios in paris and italian leatherworking savoir-faire, the runway is handmade in an atelier located a few kilometers from Florence, by passionate expert artisans who practice the most exacting craftsmanship, techniques such as manipulating the leather, manually constructing the handles, and assembling the bag in the traditional manner around a wooden form.
