Margherita Missoni's capsule handbag collection. I've read about this somewhere a while back in a magazine methinks.
Alright let's get into it. One of my closest closest clooosest friends has left today to go to study in NY and bidding our farewells and whatnot was SUPER emotional...OK, not getting back into that. yes. so...What first struck me when I read an article on this was that the designs of each individual bag was inspired by each of Margherita's closest amigas! The signature Missoni prints and the vintage/ bohemian rhapsody she infuses into these bags are spectacular; they don't look like commercially produced bags, more like a bag stolen from mum's closet stashed in there since the 70s post hippie-era. The secret is that it doesn't look spanking new, so its as if you've had it for years and this bag and it's owner have a long history together and even when it's in the store you feel a familiar friendship with these bags. (maybe that's just me) It's a girl's perfect companion, as is a best friend. Kudos to Margherita. ;)
