Anna Vince - New Collection - AW08 Collection

Inspired by the intricate lacquered boxed so integral to Japanese design Anna Vince has created ‘Kyoto 54′ – a collection of leather accessories that marry heritage with innovative design resulting in must-have pieces that are both stylish and covetable.

On delicate belts and precision cut clutches details taken from Japan’s oldest artforms create textures and silhouettes to delight the eye and excite the touch. Origami pleating and folds ripple across patent surfaces whilst Japanese knotting and quilting add depth to crackled and burnished metallic leather. In a sensual palette of glossy blacks, lusciously dark berry red, gleaming bronze and hard-as-nails graphite. This season also sees the introduction of larger totes bags and shoulder bags.

Milan last September: the Prada show created a buzz with Miuccia filling the runway with silk-printed tunics, cropped flared trousers, and prints featuring nymphs and fairies - which has been declined on the handbags, clothing, and even the shoe boxes.
This has already become the most sought after pattern for this season.

Two artists were commissioned from Prada to do the illustrations for this season’s looks. The one who did the illustration on this bag is the eloquent James Jean.
