After cutting her eye teeth designing for Bulgari, Acqua di Parma, and Jimmy Choo, Letizia Morandi has finally launched her own handbag collection. The purses from the Italian designer’s debut range were unveiled in London late last week.
Morandi has designed her purses for independent, cosmopolitan women, the kind of girls who put quality and sophisticated design above all else. Morandi says her women are “confident and fashion-forward,” trend setters rather than blind fashion followers, who have an air of “pride and natural elegance.”
The Letizia Morandi handbags have classic soft shapes and modern touches that help to separate them from the pack. The designer works with only the best materials including buttery soft leather and exotic skins. Her summer bags have more muted colors than we might expect to see in warm weather, including neutral beige and brown hues. The shades get richer for winter with classic blacks and browns mixed with unexpected purple and khaki green tones.
No prices have been announced at this point, but whenever a designer emphasizes the luxury and sophistication of their line you can be fairly certain the bags won’t be cheap. I suggest you start saving now, as Morandi’s designer pedigree could easily see these purses running into four figures.
