LILI GABBIANO “COINSY WALLIE” FOR THE BEACH

Posted on by

This small item is a classic to have for the beach. You don’t need to bring a big wallet when you are heading towards the sea. This small wallet is big enough to bring coins, paper money and the credit card. The shell attached to the zip already tells you from where it comes from and the seagull guides you in the right direction…direction beach of course.

It is part of my first collection. Together with the seagull tank top and one of my necklaces (they will be presented in one of the next days) one can be definitely referred as a beach person.

Of course it is also an item presented at the moment in my pop up store on Erikousa island. All the wallies are handmade and each seagull has been hand painted.

They might contain traces of Mediterranean sand as the all have been rubbed in the sand to get a real touch of happiness.

Derived from pineapple leaves the new leather is a new way to say hello to a durable, natural and sustainable textile. Ananas Anam, the company that produces the pineapple leather (or “Piñatex”) gives an alternative to animal leather and after 5 years of research the product is born and on the market.

Happy wearing!

FORMS

The first thing coming in my mind when I saw the unique geometric creations of Architect and accessory designer Anastasiya Komarova was: touching……. I would like to touch them, feel the strong pattern with my fingers.

Forms, the label created by the designer in 2010 is a wide range of vintage/futuristic design of leather clutches, neckpieces and armlets.

”I have never aimed to reflect any particular architecture developed or created by myself or other architects. I am just trying to reflect some fundamental things that architecture is based on. I really admire the laconic manner and unique aesthetics of some buildings and this is what I try to achieve in my accessories. It’s true that there are plenty of buildings around the world that inspires me a lot.”
