Fusing intercontinental artistry and culture, Italian bag masters Serapian just launched a significant milestone this year with the inauguration of its flagship store in the neon soaked streets of Tokyo. Crafted by skilled Milanese artisans, the walls echo of timeless elegance through a labrynth of painted murals, while mosaics and ceramics evoke feelings of Mediterranean allure.
In a hypnotic ode to cultural exchange, Serapian collaborates with Chiso, Japan’s esteemed kimono-maker, dating back to 1555 in Kyoto. The final result? A trifecta of designs adorned with Oneiric Flowers, blooms born from the enchanting union of Italian and Japanese flora.
A notable highlight of the collection is the Anì Bag, named after the wife of the founder’s son. Subtle, yet authentically elegant, this piece is equally practical and efficient as it is jaw dropping. Just don’t leave it unattended.
A union of handcraft and design the Serapian bags for Autumn/Winter 2024 possess a distinctive appearance that, unlike most brands today, does not rely on overt branding or logos. A Serapian on your arm is a transcendence of geographical boundaries, a quiet statement of sophistication that tells the informed, wandering eye, “If you know, you know”.
