Etienne Aigner is ringing in the New Year with the release of two new handbag collections for its Aigner Travel line.
The first is the Carina Piccolina collection, a lightweight line made of high-quality nylon material. The use of nylon lightens our load, while the real leather on the straps dresses up the colorful designs. I really like the contrast of the classic brown pebbled leather accents and the poppy bougainvillaea pink, orange, and sand nylon bodies. The Carina Piccolina bags are available in a range of sizes, from small wallets to large carry-alls.
Personally I prefer the Carina Piccolina line to the much fussier Charms collection. The formula has remained the same, with soft nylon bodies and top quality cowhide straps and trim. But with this line the lightweight fabric is decorated with a lucky charms and jewelry chains pattern. Its color palette is also much softer. The Charms bags are available in taupe, mauve, and a deep blue. Like their stablemates, the Charms bags also come in small to large sizes.
The Carina Piccolina and Charms accessories are available from Etienne Aigner stores around the world and selected airlines, including the Dutch carrier KLM, Bhutan’s Druik Air, and India’s Kingfisher Airlines.
