As we are in Fall '13 market at the moment I came across these images of our workshop from a year ago when we were creating the samples for the collection.
This Fall '13 season marks the debut of the SCANDI COLLECTION. Thew new silhouettes in the collection are inspired by the Scandinavian woman whose personal aesthetic and style is MINIMALISTIC with a MODERN EDGE. This aesthetic is paralleled in the new ela Scandi clutch, Scandi bag, D/N bag, Scandi Tote and Weeked Scandi tote with their clean lines embellished with embossed leather stars and pyramid studs that add the modern edge to the minimalistic design.
Hope you guys like it!
