Geox focuses on women: Penelope Cruz first brand ambassador

Posted on 10 October 2023 by Valeria Rusto

Geox focuses on women: Penelope Cruz first brand ambassador

The years of the pandemic were also difficult for Geox, and after some hesitation, the big investment was made: a rebranding campaign, starting with women. And who could be better chosen as a testimonial than Penelope Cruz?

Beautiful, brilliant and talented, this is not the first time the Oscar-winning actress has approached the world of fashion (remember Carpisa?), always accompanied by her inseparable sister Monica. The Cruzes have teamed up to design the new Geox collection, with modern lines and autumnal tones.

The collaboration

A lover of fashion since she was a child, the collaboration born between the Spanish actress and Geox is something you don’t expect but when it is there you wonder why it wasn’t there before.

Let’s be clear: before Cruz, Geox was already able to create quality and fashionable shoes by itself, but the Spanish actress (who designed the new capsule together with her sister) seems to have given an extra touch to the brand. An undoubtedly winning collaboration, perfectly in line with the Italian group’s strategy of targeting the women’s market.

Indeed, who better to talk to women than Cruz? She has energy and personality and has never hidden her human side: she knows how to please people. Perfect for Geox’s communication strategy, which has decided to have her design two seasons. Not only fall/winter 2023-2024, therefore, but also next spring/summer 2024 will see her stylist for the brand.

The new collection

Charming and fashionable, simple but feisty: these are the key words that best describe the capsule designed by the Cruz sisters.

The quality and comfort typical of GEOX, thanks to the breathable sole technology, blend with the timeless taste of Penelope and Monica. These shoes are perfect for supporting the foot in everyday challenges, whether it be a day at work, at the park with your dog or playing with your children.

A collection created by women for women. Always active and on the move, Geox aims to support them (literally) in their daily lives and in doing so, pays attention to style.

Not only Penelope Cruz at Fratinardi

Not only the new capsule by Penelope Cruz: at Fratinardi you will find a wide choice!

Geox shoes are more than just shoes: the patented technology of the breathable sole brings a series of not inconsiderable benefits to the foot.

This allows moisture to escape from the shoe, leaving the foot always dry. Perfect for men and women, they are ideal for facing the hectic rhythm of everyday life, whether it’s a long day at work or looking after the kids: Geox is with you.

Do you need a beautiful yet comfortable trainer, perfect for every hour of the day? Then the GEOX SPHERICA line is for you! The patented spherica technology allows you to combine comfort and style in a single shoe. This is thanks to a sphere placed in the centre of the sole that cushions shocks while walking, supporting the foot throughout the day.

This technology is designed for dynamic people who spend most of their day on their feet and have long walks planned. The SPHERICA line is aimed at both men and women and are ideal for active work and outings that involve a lot of time walking.

Not only trainers for him but also calf boots: they combine Geox’s innovative technology with class and elegance.

Similar to the SPHERICA technology, but designed for medium active people is the AERANTIS technology: thanks to the larger holes in the sole it allows better thermoregulation inside the shoe. It is activated by movement and comfort is maximised thanks to the optimised sole with geometric patterns:

For those who cannot renounce comfort but also elegance, on the other hand, the SIRON moccasin, in suede and visible stitching, is ideal: whether for a ceremony or work in the office, it is definitely the ideal choice.

More simple and youthful is the VELLETRI trainer: made of leather with contrasting details, it is designed for young adults who do not want to renounce the fashion and practicality typical of Geox.

For women, on the other hand, there is ILDE: the comfortable and fashionable trainer that, with its slight wedge, adds an extra touch to the shoe (and a few centimetres, I say this especially to the shorter ones)

Similar are the KENSY, practical and lightweight trainers:

Not just adult

Geox really thinks of everyone: children really are close to the company’s heart. If for adults the attention to detail and quality is utmost, for the little ones it exceeds all limits.

Ankle boots, trainers, amphibians and ballerinas: shoes suitable for every occasion, designed for little girls who are always in movement, who can’t resist running in any situation. Geox supports them in their adventures, whether they are at school or out walking with their parents, supporting their little adventurous steps.

And the same goes for boys, who are energetic and always ready to make new discoveries. For them too, Geox exceeds in quality and design, creating a unique shoe whose sole purpose is to accompany the child in daily activities. Running in the park will no longer be a problem for their little feet: the breathable sole will keep them from sweating and allow them to enjoy every moment in comfort.

Conclusion

As we have seen, Geox is the shoe for everyone: simple yet elegant, where quality and comfort have been the cornerstones of every creation since the company was founded in the 1990s.

Made in Italy and fashion are often synonymous and remain so in the Cruz sisters’ new capsule.

It is no coincidence to find Geox in shops and on the Fratinardi website: we have always been committed to selecting exceptionally well-made clothes and shoes, for him, for her and for the little ones.

Even for this fall/winter 2023-2024 season, we have strived to find you the best shoes on the market, suitable for every occasion: among them, how could Geox be missing? But in case this brand is just not for you, then look for the ideal shoe among our other top brands: Hogan, NeroGiardini and Valleverde are just some of those available at Fratinardi. You can find us in Battipaglia (Salerno, Italy), in our physical stores, and online at Fratinardi.it/en!

Hobo Bags: five reasons to follow the fall/winter 2023-2024 trend

Posted on 5 October 2023 by Valeria Rusto

Hobo Bags: five reasons to follow the fall/winter 2023-2024 trend

Once again this year, they are a must-have. In the new fall/winter 2023-2024 collections, hobo bags are a must! You can’t resist them, and yet, there are still those who haven’t decided to buy them.

For all those who haven’t yet, we at Fratinardi are here, ready to explain why you can’t renounce a beautiful hobo bag.

Original, quirky, iconic, colourful… With a banana instead of a handle (why? I don’t know, you’d have to ask Puppets&Puppets that)…

Hobo bags look good on everything (and everyone), they have a fascinating history, a soft shape and there are ones for all tastes and occasions.

Ready to discover the five reasons to follow this trend?

Number 1: They have a pretty good story

Hoboes are not born as bags, they become them.

Their history begins with the farmers of the United States of America and the tramps of the Great Depression. The term was perhaps coined from a fusion of the terms hoe boy or hoy boy, which in the 1930s took on the meaning of hobo.

At that time, it was not uncommon to see people travelling in cargo trains in search of fortune, collecting all their belongings in a bag tied to a stick.

To understand this, here is a photo of the time:

But it was the great Made in Italy fashion house Gucci that made it an accessory in the 1960s, becoming Jackie Kennedy‘s favourite handbag! With its soft lines and crescent shape, how can you resist the allure of a hobo?

Number 2: Suitable for all hours

Whether it’s for a day at the office, an aperitif in the city centre or an evening with your other half, hobo bags are never too much!

Do you need to carry your diary, lunchbox and all your tricks to get through an exciting day at work? Then this Ermanno Scervino hobo bag is for you! Available in both black and white, it allows you to be chic even when you want to pull your hair out of your head from too much work:

For those times when only a credit card, mobile phone or tissues can suffice, there is always Ermanno Scervino, with its range of minibags, ideal for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends:

Number 3: They are for all tastes

Whether you want a minimal, formal or extravagant style, such a bag can satisfy you.

Simple plain or studded with fringes, it doesn’t matter: everything you want can be found in a hobo bag, like in this fantastic Liu Jo.

Number 4: They also have a shoulder strap

Don’t underestimate the power of the shoulder bag, ever.

On hectic mornings it can really save your life: you sling it over your shoulder and it won’t fall off as you run to catch the bus. Not to mention those evenings when you’re up for hours, standing in the crowd dancing and having fun with your friends. Would you really spend them with your bag in one hand and a cocktail in the other?

The hobo bags here at Fratinardi.in/en all have shoulder straps, do I really need to give you more reasons to buy them all?

Number 5: They know how to be essential

No extra detail, none less. Hobo bags are exactly what you need. The same model can be casual and elegant, chic and essential.

They are a versatile accessory that you can hardly do without and if in its reinterpretations it has been winning over customers and maisons since the Sixties, there must be a reason!

Conclusion

As we have seen, hobo bags are very special and there really is something for everyone! This new (old) trend really has a lot to tell and can be more than versatile. Not to mention that the bag we choose can really tell a lot about us (especially how we wear it)!

Then, they are perfect to match our Dr. Martens shoes and Liu Jo trainers, as well as Marella and Gai Mattiolo dresses.

But if hobo bags really don’t convince you, we refer you to the fall/winter trends where you can choose the bag that’s right for you! And you already know where to buy it: in our store in Battipaglia (Salerno, Italy) or on Fratinardi.it/en

Paris Fashion Week 2023: five spring-summer 2024 trends to absolutely copy

Posted on 4 October 2023 by Valeria Rusto

Paris Fashion Week 2023: five spring-summer 2024 trends to absolutely copy

Ending on 3 October, Paris Fashion Week did not disappoint this year either, bringing unique pieces and looks to the catwalk that must absolutely get inspired by!

From white shirts worn lazily but always with style, to micro-micro shorts that leave no limits to the imagination, let’s discover together five trends you can’t give up in spring/summer 2024.

paris fashion week

NO.1: BLACK AND WHITE AS YIN AND YANG

As Dior teaches, there are colour combinations that never die. One of these is definitely the black-white combo.

Leave the colours in the wardrobe, at least when you go to work, and make room for white shirts worn with studied ‘laziness‘. Open at the front, seemingly falling off, match them with structured and geometric trousers and skirts, strictly black!

Balmain, Dior and Peter Do show us how to match these garments:

NO. 2: LEATHER IS A MUST

Like Sandy in the end of Grease, cover yourself in leather from head to toe and run to conquer not the handsome guy on duty, but the streets of your city!

In his fashion show, Rick Owens takes us through leather clothes and futuristic looks that are not exactly suitable for everyday life, while clearing customs on a material that is often considered only for winter or in any case not very suitable for summer.

rickowen-ss24

So go for leather bodices, as well as skirts, dresses and trousers for a casual and sexy look. Then don’t forget the leather jacket, to stay in theme even on cooler evenings. They will hardly forget you!

NO. 3: FLOWER-MANIA

Creating wonderful bouquets, Balmain uses leather, plastic and fabric to cover dresses and bags with colourful three-dimensional flowers.

balmain-ss24-paris.fashion-week

But that’s not all! They also come back as prints of dresses with vintage tones revisited, looking like something straight out of the 1950s.

NO. 4: VERY SHORT

For this spring/summer 2024, Miu Miu and Isabel Marant leave no room for the imagination, offering dresses and shorts that are as short as they can be.

So let’s unleash freedom and show our legs without shame, as climate change looms and next summer will be decidedly hot.

N.5: GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK

And speaking of climate change, Stella MCCartney brings us a new totally green line, with natural fabrics appearing on the catwalk for the first time. One of these is kelsun, a yarn obtained from seaweed that does not harm the environment.

Yes, green is also a trend, with garments close to Generation Z and its ideals, which does not neglect style and does not fail to follow trends.

Conclusion

Broadly speaking, this is how we will be dressing next spring: sensuality, elegance and quality are the keywords of Paris Fashion Week. We at Fratinardi have taken note of them and look forward to bringing them to you via our trusted brands, such as Relish, 4GIVENESS and Marella.

Let’s not forget, though, that we are in autumn and before thinking about the next season, we still have to fill our wardrobes for the current one. To do this, of course, there’s us and our online shop!

Dr. Martens: five interesting facts about the shoe that made amphibian history

Posted on 28 September 2023 by Valeria Rusto

Dr. Martens: five interesting facts about the shoe that made amphibian history

Love them or hate them, we all know Dr Martens: always different, always the same, useful for brightening up the office and perfect for rainy days.

They are recognisable from a mile away and yet few people have any idea of their history. Born of misfortune, they became the wealth of those who created them. As the saying goes? Fortune favours the bold, and Dr Maertens (the real one, not the shoe) had plenty of both.

To celebrate the new fall/winter 2023-2024 collection, discover with us of Fratinardi five curiosities you definitely don’t know about the most loved shoe of the last decades

1. They were born as orthopaedic shoes

This is undoubtedly the most well-known thing about Dr. Martens, but how many really know the reason why it was created?

It all starts in 1943, when German doctor Klaus Maertens breaks his foot while skiing during a military leave. It was during his convalescence period that he realised how uncomfortable classic shoes with leather soles could be.

He then decided to invent a new type of sole softened by an air cushion. This is why Dr. Martens are comfortable and support the stride so well.

Only after the war was over he produced the first model by himself, but did not manage to sell it until 1947, when, with the help of his old college colleague, Dr. Funk, he opened the first shoe company.

2: the market? Dominated by housewives!

Yes, in the 1950s, the main purchasers of Dr. Martens were German housewives. They dominated 80% of the market.

Can you imagine an elegant German housewife cleaning house with amphibians? It must have looked something like this:

It has to be said: who can blame them! They are the perfect shoes to tackle a life as busy as only a housewife can be.

3: They soon became the shoes of soldiers (and not only)

In the 1950s, Funk and Maertens opened up to international trade, starting to produce shoes for the British army. This was thanks to the R. Griggs Group Ltd., who bought the patent to beat off competitors from G.B. Britons, who produced amphibious boots for the army.

It was they who created the Dr. Martens we know today, adding the yellow stitching between the sole and upper and the black and yellow tongue, now undisputed symbols of these shoes.

At the end of the 1960s, Dr. Martens became everybody’s shoe: from soldier to policeman, from postman to factory worker. Everybody wears Dr. Martens!

And if you still haven’t bought them, it’s time to go to Fratinardi.it/en to remedy the situation!

4: In Italy it arrives thanks to music

The first appearance of this footwear in Italy is attributed to an Anglo-Italian musician from the group BlackJack: Alan Targer-Addams.

Moving frequently between our country and England, he began to wear them following English fashion, among the first ever here in Italy!

5: Funk excluded from the name!

Dr. Funk was excluded from the brand name with a stupid but understandable reason: his name sounds too much like F*UCK.

Where can I buy Dr. Martens?

But at Fratinardi’s, of course! If you have even remotely considered buying a pair of Dr. Martens, we are for you.

Helpfulness and kindness are what you will find in our boutiques and in our personal shopper. Available in black, but also in powder pink, the new collection will leave you open-mouthed among moccasins, classic amphibians and in revisited versions to guarantee you a shopping session that fully suits your needs!

And what about our pairings? Have you ever thought how Dr. Martens could look so good under a Marella denim dress or a Gai Mattiolo tweed suit? Really perfect for any occasion!

Conclusion

There’s not much to say, Dr. Martens have come a long way from ’43 to today! A good eighty years of history, of failures and recoveries through a changing society.

They have lost their initial use, their subsequent meaning, becoming today a trend that has so much to tell. Just think, they have even been created in a vegan version!

If this post has got you at least partly passionate about the history of these shoes, then what are you waiting for to buy them in our shop? They are all there, even the originals! We are waiting for you on fratinardi.it/en or in our store in Battipaglia (Salerno, Itally)!

5 must-haves for preparing the perfect layette for your baby

Posted on 22 September 2023 by Valeria Rusto

5 must-haves for preparing the perfect layette for your baby

There is nothing sweeter for an expectant mother than buying the first baby clothes for the newborn baby: wandering around the shops, choosing the softest and cutest onesies, imagining your baby wearing them… This is where the first doubts arise.

Which material is most suitable? Buttons at the back or at the front? Socks yes or socks no? The questions are potentially endless and getting out of them seems impossible. Or nearly!

That is why we at Fratinardi have decided to help all mothers-to-be (and not only!) in their search for the perfect layette for winter.

Corredino: what is it and what is it for?

Among the most tender things to buy during pregnancy, the layette is usually given as a gift to new parents, but more and more mothers are choosing to buy it themselves.

It includes all the useful items for baby’s hygiene in the first months and the necessary clothes:

covers;
caps;
towels;
underwear (T-shirts, bodysuits…);
dresses and onesies;
bibs;
socks;
changing mat; dummies; feeding bottles; nappies…

It serves to prepare mum and dad for every eventuality and need of the little one, and don’t worry in case something is missing: you can always buy it later. The important thing is that you have the essential items with you to welcome him into his new home.

And if we at Fratinardi can’t offer you a changing table and dummy, we can certainly help you with the rest!

TIP NUMBER 1: COVER FIRST

A newborn baby cannot tell you if it is cold or hot, you will have to figure that out. How?

One of the most common methods is certainly to touch the nape of the neck and the neck of the baby, if these are too warm or cold, then you will have to cover or uncover the baby accordingly.

The ideal is to use a blanket that can be taken off and put on when needed, preferably made of wool or chenille, or in any case soft fabrics that will not irritate your baby’s skin.

For you, we have selected these from Maglificio di Verona, made of 100% pure virgin Merino wool, which will keep your baby warm in the winter months.

TIP NUMBER 2: JUMPSUITS ARE NEVER ENOUGH!

And no, not because your babies are already fashion addicts, but out of pure practical sense: babies tend to get dirty a lot. They regurgitate, they drool and… well, we won’t go into details. Just know that you will need them so that you are never unprepared!

The real question is: how to choose them? There are many different types: full jumpsuits, separates (jersey and trousers), footless jumpsuits, open at the back, at the front, at the bottom, without a collar, with a collar… We could go on and on!

There is no single criterion for choosing, other than assessing how you are most comfortable when changing and which baby prefers (his cries will let you know, don’t worry). The important thing is to choose warm, natural fabrics, especially if the baby is born in the middle of winter, such as wool and warm cotton.

In our decades of experience, we feel we must recommend these models:

The Maglificio di Verona footless sleepsuit is perfect to combine with birth shoes to keep little feet warm! Both made of virgin wool, they are perfect for tackling the winter cold and giving tenderness to your little bundle of love! We show it to you in cream, but other colours are also available.

The Nanan one-piece onieses, on the other hand, is made of cotton. They are available with or without collar depending on your and your child’s preferences!

For those who prefer the normal jumpsuit, we have selected some garments from Maglificio di Verona, again in virgin wool, to match our birth shoes from the same collection!

TIP NUMBER 3: THE BODYSUIT TO HOLD THE NAPPY IN PLACE

Babies move around a lot and their little jerks risk causing the nappy to move! The ideal way to keep him still is to use a bodysuit.

Always made of natural materials, in colder seasons we recommend it in warm cotton and long sleeves, like this one by Kioki.

TIP NUMBER 4: THE BIB

An essential element in a newborn’s layette, they serve to prevent stains on their pretty clothes. Indeed, it is likely that the baby will regurgitate milk after eating and so it will be easier and more immediate to clean them and their clothes.

For you, we have selected bibs from the Coccodè line, made of cotton with a button fastening.

And Nanan, with its cute prints!

TIP NUMBER 5: THE CAP

To protect the forehead and ears from blows during the winter months, a good hat is without doubt ideal! It does not squeeze the baby’s little head, which is still soft after birth, and keeps it warm during the first outings.

Nanan and Maglificio di Verona have created some very cute ones, perfect for the colder seasons.

Conclusion

Whether the baby is your own or you are looking for the perfect gift, a layette is always a welcome present and with this mini-guide you certainly won’t be able to go wrong when choosing your purchases!

For more models and much more for your baby, we look forward to seeing you in our store in Battipaglia (Salerno, Italia) and online at Fratinardi.it/en!

Back to school 2023: everything is easier with Fratinardi

Posted on 15 September 2023 by Valeria Rusto

Back to school 2023: tutto è più facile con Fratinardi

The end of summer brings with it September: the holidays are over for adults and children alike and the return to routine can be nerve-racking. For parents (as if the post-holiday stress and the return to work were not enough) there is also the dreaded and dreaded back to school!

So it’s back to shopping, backpacks, books and… shoes. Because children grow fast and last year’s shoes are already too tight. And if wandering around the shops looking for the right pair of shoes bothers you, here comes Fratinardi to your rescue: comfortable, versatile, fashionable and perfect for playing, ready to support your child on his growth path. Among the latest sales for girls and boys and the new autumn/winter 2023-24 collection, we definitely have what you need.

That is what we will discuss in this article:

Why choosing the right shoes is crucial
A short guide to size selection
Born fashion addicts: shoes for the vainest kids
Getting dirty is a pleasure with the right shoes
Comfort and quality for a happy childhood

Why choosing the right shoes is crucial

The right shoe is your child’s best friend: children’s feet can grow up to three sizes in just one year. Making the right choice when shopping is necessary in order not to impair their normal development. If they are too small, they could cause blisters and redness, and if they are too large, they could unbalance him when walking.

Not to forget how much children like to run and play: the sole must be soft to allow them stability and freedom of movement. So does the insole, which must provide support for the arch of the foot. And they have to be light, breathable and also beautiful, otherwise the child won’t want to wear them…

No, choosing the right model is not easy, until you rely on Fratinardi. It is with us that you will find the right shoe for your every need: every adventure starts with the right pair of shoes.

A short guide to choosing a size

It is essential to choose the right size, especially when it comes to shoes. The child must be able to move easily and the toes must be well extended. This allows the natural development of the arch of the foot. As we have already mentioned, the feet of small children develop rather quickly, depending on their age. Specifically:

From 9 months to 3 years: development is so rapid that the size needs to be checked at least once every two months;
From 3 to 6 years: the foot grows two to three sizes every year;
During school age until its development: one to two sizes per year.

Ideally, a check on the actual size should be made every two months or so. Alternatively, based on the longest foot (even if only slightly, the length between right and left can vary) choose shoes that are about one centimetre bigger, consequently about one size.

Born fashion-addicted: shoes for vain children

Being vain is not a whim, it’s not a choice: a taste for beauty is born with it. So why not indulge our children with the most fashionable models from our collections?

Polo Ralph Laurent

The Polo Ralph Lauren line is the perfect shoe for the child who is already a fan of elegance. Genuine leather trainers, with visible stitching and a velcro fastening so they never trip.

But we also have them with laces for older children: dark green, suede and visible stitching.

hogan

Hogan trainers are perfect for your little girls: simple and fashionable to accompany them every step of the way. White, in real pretty and pink rhinestones to shine at any time of day.

liu jo junior

White, pink and silver, always perfect and never out of place: this is what LIU JO offers for the little ones. Made of faux leather, with nylon inserts with a metallic effect.

Or full of glitter to be the most effervescent in the class!

NeroGiardini

More classic and always on the ball are the NeroGiardini trainers, in leather, with dark blue fabric inserts that contrast with the visible white stitching.

Getting dirty is a pleasure with the right shoes

For every style-conscious child, there is always one who can’t sit still.So if your child is one of those who just doesn’t want to sit still, here are the perfect shoes!

Naturino

For both him and her, Naturino shoes are ideal for an afternoon spent playing with friends after school. Made of faux leather, with technical fabric uppers and structured to support the stride, they will be a pleasure for your children to wear!

Lumberjack

Lumberjack‘s Warrior series for children, made of faux leather and visible stitching, is equipped with a double strap to withstand the wildest games.

Laminated and suede, on the other hand, are the amphibians designed for girls, but just because they are pink does not mean they are not suitable for the fastest of races.

Comfort and quality for a happy childhood

As we said at the beginning of this article, comfort is fundamental as is quality and it is on these principles that our selection of children’s shoes is based. Designed for you and for them, we have so much more to show you and if you are curious, we are waiting for you in our store in Battipaglia and on our website Fratinardi.it.

Bag Trends Autumn-Winter 2023-24: New Collections Not to Be Missed

Posted on 1 September 2023 by Valeria Rusto

Autumn and winter are seasons steeped in glamour and style, and with the arrival of new bag collections for the 2023-24 Autumn-Winter season, fashionistas the world over are ready to unveil bold and sophisticated new looks. The international catwalks have given us a spectacle of innovative designs, high-quality materials and eye-catching details. In this article, we explore the latest handbag trends for the cold season and discover the most fascinating creations that fashion houses have to offer.

Bag Trends: Sought-after and Sustainable Materials

In the A-W 2023-24 season, there is a strong emphasis on high quality and sustainable materials. Bags made of fine leathers are the undisputed protagonists, but with a focus on ethics and sustainability. Many fashion houses are adopting top-quality synthetic leathers, which not only spare animals but also allow for greater control over production and durability. Liu Jo for her and Piquadro for him, are brands always adopted by Fratinardi as they completely reflect the spirit and objective of the brand: protecting the environment and spreading the right message.

Bag Trends: Iconic Colours and Autumn Shades

The bag colours for the A/W 2023-24 season are inspired by the warm and cosy tones of autumn and winter. From classic shades of chocolate brown and burgundy to unexpected surprises like sage green and midnight blue, the new collections present a wide range of colours to suit every taste. These shades can be found in the new Furla collection, in unique and sophisticated designs for the enterprising woman or in the new GUESS collection for those who prefer to express their trendy soul.

Bag Trends: Structured Shapes and Innovative Designs

The bags for the 2023-24 autumn-winter season feature structured shapes and bold designs. From tote bags with clean lines and defined corners to shoulder mini-bags with metallic details, this season’s bags are true masterpieces of design. There are also oversize versions, perfect for those who want a touch of elegance without sacrificing functionality.

Handbag Trends: Details That Make the Difference

Details are what transform a bag from ordinary to extraordinary. In the A-W 2023-24 season, details are in the foreground: from decorative buckles to faux fur inserts, via metal chains and clip fastenings, every small element contributes to creating unique and unforgettable bags.

Autumn and winter have always been periods of great creativity in the fashion world, and the new autumn-winter 2023-24 collection is no exception.

This year’s fashion shows presented us with a variety of styles, colours and details that promise to define our wardrobe for the cold season. From bold reinterpretations of timeless classics to avant-garde experimentation, here is a summary of the main trends that emerged from the catwalks.

Autumn-winter fashion trend: metropolitan glamour

This year’s catwalks celebrated the sensuality and elegance of the city. Evening dresses were reinvented with structured silhouettes and shimmering details. Long, flowing dresses are embellished with sparkling crystals, creating a sophisticated, modern style. The predominant colours are black, grey and midnight blue, evoking the mysterious atmosphere of urban evenings.

Autumn-winter fashion trend: a return to vintage

Nostalgia is a key element this season. Designers around the world have drawn inspiration from the 70s and 80s, bringing psychedelic prints, bell-bottoms and oversized jackets to the catwalk. This trend offers an opportunity to mix vintage pieces with contemporary touches, creating unique and personal looks.

Autumn-winter fashion trend: artistic eclecticism

Art meets fashion in this creative trend. Clothes have become works of art in themselves, with prints inspired by famous paintings and vivid colours that catch the eye. Designers have pushed conventional boundaries, overlapping fabrics and materials to create unique and unconventional garments.

Autumn-winter fashion trend: minimalist elegance

Minimalism is always in fashion, but this year it comes with a renewed sophistication. Clean lines and essential shapes have been emphasised in dresses and coats, with a neutral colour palette giving a sense of calm and sophistication. This trend lends itself to the creation of elegant and timeless looks.

Autumn-winter fashion trends: synthetic furs and innovative fabrics

Sustainability is in the spotlight this season. Many fashion houses have opted for synthetic furs and innovative fabrics that mimic the look and feel of traditional materials, but with a reduced environmental impact. This is an important sign of the industry’s commitment to more ethical and sustainable practices.

Autumn-winter fashion trend: XXL jackets

Women’s oversized jackets have conquered the catwalks and the wardrobes of many, redefining the very idea of elegance and style. Oversized jackets not only add a touch of sophistication to outfits, but also offer cosy comfort, ideal for tackling colder days in style. The versatility of these jackets is astonishing: they can be paired with casual outfits for a touch of edge or worn over more formal dresses to create a bold contrast. With a wide range of materials and colours to choose from, oversized jackets provide an opportunity to express individuality and embrace a fashion that celebrates freedom and authenticity.

In conclusion, the autumn-winter 2023-24 collection invites us to explore a wide range of styles and inspirations. From metropolitan brilliance to artistic eclecticism, there is something for everyone. Furthermore, the emphasis on sustainability and textile innovation underlines the importance of a responsible fashion industry.
