Easter 2022 gift ideas: yes or no eggs?

Posted on 25 March 2022 by Valeria Rusto

It seems like yesterday that we placed the gift under the Christmas tree and today we already have to think about Easter gifts. Do you have any ideas? Read on and you will be spoiled for choice.

Doves, eggs and many other sweets, these are usually the most coveted gifts, those gifts capable of making you lick your mustache and satiate your stomach. There are, however, also those gifts that make the eyes sparkle and that can make the heart beat. When we think of the Easter gift we inevitably think of chocolate eggs. Perhaps, those who are more imaginative also choose to insert a little thought inside the chocolate eggs and there are so many ideas among jewels and small accessories. So we can divide our gift ideas into three categories:

“Inside Easter Egg” gift ideas: what do you want to find inside the Easter egg?

We cannot exaggerate the size of our gift but Fratinardi can offer you small accessories that can surprise the person you love. For her, a Guess mini wallet without forgetting to insert a coin which is always a good omen. A Liu Jo belt, well rolled up with soft and resistant leather, can fit every personality.

For him it is always simpler and even in this Piquadro can give us a great help: key ring, wallet or belt. All these gifts are of a perfect size so that you can place them inside your eggs to give as gifts.

“Outside Easter Egg” gift ideas: what do you want to find next to the Easter egg?

Usually a small stuffed toy is the thought most found embraced by the chocolate-covered gift. You know, at Easter you have to eat and the bigger the egg, the happier your partner or wife will be. But if you do find a nice gift next to it, you will make this holiday even more exciting. The Marc Ellis or Valentino shoulder bags are the latest arrivals of the New SS 2022 Collection. Elegant and chic, including golden or silver chains, they are those gifts that always please a woman: they close the look thanks to neutral colors and with perfect dimensions for a aperitif with friends.

Do you have a sporty boyfriend? Always on the bike or struggling with a walk in the mountains? The Vip Flap thermal bottles are ultra-light stainless steel accessories. They can follow your him in the office, in the gym, in any daily movement, thus ensuring good daily hydration.

“Without Easter Egg” gift ideas: what can you give instead of an Easter egg?

Here we can have fun, without thinking about the capacity, the price and relevance to the holiday. What we can offer you as a gift is definitely a pair of shoes. As always, let’s dispel the legend: shoes can be given as gifts. Pay attention to size and taste and it will surely be a well appreciated gift. Hogan, Guess, Liu Jo, D.A.T.E and many other brands are ready to help you clarify the right gift to be delivered on April 17th.

Hogan shoes, Traditional with 3R for a greener world

Posted on 15 March 2022 by Valeria Rusto

Since 1986, the Hogan Traditional shoe has never left the scene and today it even changes leathers and colors, never abandoning the unmistakable style of the sneakers everyone loves.

It is called Traditional but it is part of the biggest change that the Marche house has been able to develop in recent decades. We are talking about the most classic of Hogan shoes created more than 30 years ago, when the Tod’s group entered the market with a product that today we define as a luxury shoe. Season after season the leather, color, details that made the difference changed. A great evolution was needed which translates into a 3R project, presented last February and which marks the long-term future for an eco-sustainable Hogan shoe.

The Tod’s brand is thus inspired by a classic cricket shoe and the new Traditional does not break with the past but marries the essential principles of sustainability. The three Rs of Hogan’s project stand to recycle, reuse and reduce. A shoe that reflects the canons of a product in favor of the environment and against any form of environmental negativity. Both for men and women, the Hogan 3R become the most popular Traditional of the moment not only for the comfort and beauty but also above all for the message that the brand from Marche wants to spread:

“Sustainability is a journey, at the moment nothing is recycled or 100% recyclable and Hogan the Tod’s group will always be transparent about this. We want to always tell consumers the truth and make them participate in how this journey towards ways of producing and buying can respect the environment. ” (Andrea Della Valle from Il Sole 24 ore)

The traditional Hogan aspects don’t change like comfort and fit. The Hogan company produces footwear for men, women and children with different production lines, entirely Made In Italy: Interactive, Rebel, Maxi 222, Time Active, Traditional, N20, Olympia. The fit for each model is particularly wide, therefore with respect to the “size scale” it is always advisable to opt for a number less than the standard size of your foot.

How to check your size? Hogan shoes have the number stamped on the inside of the tongue, belonging to the UK size scale. So how to understand which is the corresponding Italian or European size?

It is really simple, just follow the size chart available below:

Do not miss the opportunity to live the Hogan experience. All the Tod’s company models are available in our boutique and on our online shop. As official Hogan retailers we boast a large amount of footwear to offer our customers more and more lovers and enthusiasts of the brand.

Father’s Day 2022: an idea for every personality

Posted on 5 March 2022 by Valeria Rusto

March 19 is approaching more and more suddenly and the anxiety to surprise one’s father rises more and more. What can it do for him? How can we buy a useful and beautiful gift? Here are some tips to disappoint expectations.

Celebrating Father’s Day is the right occasion to show affection for your head of the family. “This is for you dad” accompanied by a hug or a simple “I love you” is the best way to spend this day together. But you know, many times giving a gift to your dad becomes even more difficult than a gift for mom. They are more meticulous and the ideas are less and less, because sometimes we see them as very simple people. But every dad has his own personality and that side of his character needs to be satisfied.

The dad in 24 hours between work and home

The father who is always busy with work but always finds a way to spend time with you will always need a shoulder strap or a 24 hour bag that can contain everything he has. From a laptop to a notepad, folder or important documents, a Piquadro bag in an eco-sustainable material is not only a useful but also an innovative gift.

Sporty and trendy, even the feet want their part

Who says you don’t get shoes as a gift? You just need to know the right size and the taste you prefer to buy a perfect pair of shoes to wear and get started immediately. The New Geox Spherica or Hogan Collection offers many models for this spring season. Comfortable, light and easy to combine with casual clothing.

Simple but dynamic, a dad always on the go

Many dads love to go out on a picnic, carry everything on their shoulders and never miss anything. When a backpack surprises with its practicality and design, we are certainly talking about Momo. More and more fashionable among motorcyclists for the line of helmets that is increasingly trendy, Fratinardi offers a line of backpacks with iridescent colors or classic black.

Belts or card holders? Both can be a great match.

Two are better than one. In a single package we can leave our dad open-mouthed by letting him find a classic belt to combine every day with a work suit with a thin card holder that is easy to insert in his pocket. The right accessories for every dad.

Don’t be caught unprepared, Father’s Day 2022 is coming and you can leave early. A quick and easy way is definitely Fratinardi.it which allows you to buy your gift for Father’s Day from the comfort of your home. Choose the item you think is the right gift, put it in the cart and I also request a gift package. Within 24 hours it will be at your home.

Last colds, how to dress chic and elegant even in winter

Posted on 18 February 2022 by Valeria Rusto

How do you manage to create chic and elegant combinations even in winter?

In the winter we are always in difficulty on how to create unique and particular looks as we find ourselves more and more covered and the various overlaps tend to load our figure too much. This does not happen in summer. Just put on a dress and a pair of sandals and you’re done.

So how can we not look clumsy and still endure the harsh winter temperatures? To go to work, to an important dinner, for a gallant outing or a ceremony, events to dress up chic are always on the agenda.

One of the most used words is certainly “wool”. Just by saying these two syllables you warm your heart. Let’s start with warm and comfortable wool sweaters. The latest fashion trends have promoted oversized sweaters. To our great satisfaction, sweaters, maxi sweaters and cardigans always give warmth and comfort to our style.

The thermometer goes down and our wardrobe immediately cries out for help. The garment that really can’t miss to face the winter? The turtleneck! Make a good stock, in any color or pattern. The turtleneck will certainly facilitate your combinations especially if you want to wear two sweaters. Fighting the cold has never been easier, especially when we are warmed by layers and layers of fine and warm fabrics.

Socks yes or no socks?

Unless you are an influencer invited to fashion shows during the fashion weeks of the fashion district, socks are an increasingly less underestimated garment. To complete the look, start with tights under dresses and skirts and soft cashmere socks for everyday looks. Skirt in leather or jeans, live comfort. Let yourself be enchanted by warm but also a little rock clothing. The new trends certainly promote a casual chic style between leather, studs and oversize.

Eco and super hot!

To be chic and adopt surprising and always trendy clothing, an eco-fur coat is the right choice. Warm, solid color or colored, crop or long, any type of faux fur to match with trousers or skirts are a perfect ally for a day around the city or to complete an evening look.

Footwear, we know what to offer!

We know, you would never want to abandon those warm slippers that, accompanied by socks, warm you up during your stay at home. But to go out, unless you are Chiara Ferragni ready to dictate the laws of fashion, it does not seem appropriate to opt for slippers. The hottest shoes are definitely the Mou Eskimo. Mou shoes are available in different variants, high or low, in suede or with sequins. Each woman will be able to complete her stylish look of her as she prefers so that she can reflect her personality thanks to Mou Eskimo.

How to create a perfect, chic and winter look?

Elegance and femininity are the key words of the new collection proposed by Fratinardi.

We aim for the best only for you

Highlighting the shapes of a woman and enhancing her strengths, these are the characteristics of the clothing present in our stores. Patrizia Pepe, Mariuccia, Marella and Almagores are just few of the brands giving to the woman the chance to express her professionalism but also her fanciful side.

We reflect with the outfit proposed, the catwalks of the last edition of the Milano fashion week: back to the elegance of ‘70s, with jackets and trousers, straps, skirts above the knee.

Milano Fashion Week: animalier, jungle and bright colours

Posted on 2 October 2019 by Valeria Rusto

Another fashion week has come and gone and Fratinardi wants to share with you the experience of being there. Certainly we can say which trends there will be the in 2020.

It’s been a fashion week rich in bright colours, a real embrace with the colours of the nature. Freshness and will to live, these have been the perceptions watching at the catwalk of this warm September. The fashion guru have been inspired by many trends for the new collection Spring-Summer 2020.

For Dolce & Gabbana the animal pattern is a great classic. The accessories and shoes show patterns inspired by the exotic mantles of zebras, giraffes and roaring felines. Something new is the shoulder microbag with striations or spotted.

From animals to the tropical jungle with Versace. The strong colours like turquoise and fluorescent green are back in jackets and trousers, cocktail dresses or minidresses.

With Prada we travel back in time to the 20ies and 50ies. Pastel colours and embroidery on sleeves and skirts make you remember of those past years when it was easy to be elegant with a skirt cut under the knee and a three-quarter sleeve.

The new collection Moschino is inspired by the world of art with coloured brush strokes and geometric figures. A tribute to Picasso with Spanish international costumes.

The male look is used by Missoni and MaxMara to represent a super woman, strong and decisive and with a independent look. This is the woman represented at the Milano Fashion Week: strong, coloured and independent.

In fact the MFW beyond the new trends, wants to be a mirror for the future where any woman can find herself.

Dr. Martens, the boots that never go out of style

Posted on 17 September 2019 by Valeria Rusto

In recent times, it is fashionable to put in our wardrobe clothes that have written the history. Clothes and accessories with a glorious past and related to precise stylistic directions are very popular. After all, everyone is nostalgic about never experienced times and that’s why we choose clothes that take us back to the past years.

The history of Dr. Martens is meaningful: the creator Klaus Martens, after an accident occurred during the Second World War, decided to create new shoes with a particular sole with a bearing and a more resistant finishing to make them more comfortable.

The years go and after the military period the Dr Martens become the most famous boots, a cult for whole generations, matching many trends like punk, grunge, mod and metalhead.

Many of you certainly have a pair of Dr. Martens in your wardrobe and the combinations are various. It depends on our personality. They are not elegant shoes but if matched in the right way, they can be equally feminine and romantic.

Are you romantic? You won’t be wrong wearing your boots with a long dress with flowers or a short one with plain colours. The fabrics must be very soft and you can match on it a shirt or a white t-shirt during the summer.

In a sexy version we can choose a short skirt o a black sheath dress with a leather jacket.

The Dr. Martens can be an alternative to the sneaker. Therefore you can use denim but skinny. Dresses, long skirts, plain colours or fantasies. The after war boots are still trendy and never go out of fashion. Are you ready to be fashionable? With the Dr. Martens you will never be wrong!
