Street Style Berlin. Sicily Bag “Gigi” in size grande.
Most people associate straw and wicker with summer. But who needs rigid rules these days? So many looks have transcended their former boundaries – e.g. sequins are now part of regular office attire. Sneakers are worn with delicate jacquard dresses. So why not wear a straw coffa bag in winter? They’re cute, chic and express a unique counterpoint that says “to hell with the cold – I feel warm regardless!”. The colourful poms poms, ranging in hue from soft pastels to deep turquoises and reds, are your best friend to combat the winter blues. Imagine the colourful “Gigi” straw bag with a pea coat and ankle boats! Or the more understated “Claudia” Sicily Bag with its signature honey comb pattern worn with pleated knits and a woollen hat. The possibilities are endless.
