News: THOMAS BLAKK

 

  Thomas Bambagioni was born in Florence Italy in September

1978.

By 2009 Thomas started to develop a passionate interest in high end directional accessories, culminating with the creation of his own collection - Thomas Blakk - launched in Florence in January 2011. Starting from a unique conceptual viewpoint, Thomas explored his ideas for the modern bag, examining how they are worn and their profound role in women's lives today. Thomas attempted to create something that was not yet present in the market place, but also a bag that spoke for itself and imbued an attitude and aura to the person adorning IT.

Geometric shapes and stark color are the main elements for the debut AW 11 collection. Collaborating with interior product designer Bahbak Hashami Nezad. Thomas created a dark and edgy collection with photo shoots and display installation inspired by pop culture, new music and high-end craftsmanship. For his launch collection Thomas focused on the color Black, a color that the designer feels represents an absolute certainty and timelessness in fashion.

The next chapter in the Thomas Blakk story is yet to be written, with a critically acclaimed first season the emerging designer is focusing on creating a solid and viable future from his bold creativity, innovative and ambitious approach.

News: The Loser Project

Simplicity, usefulness, durability, design and quality make up the philosophy behind The Loser Project, producing hand made leather goods under the supervision of its creative director, Rui Duarte. The bags distinctive production method has been taken from traditional naval construction, designed especially for freight shipping and been adapted to fit a smaller format. This ensures extreme durability and high performance whilst avoiding the need to glue and/or sew.

  

The materials used have all been hand selected to ensure the highest quality. The leather undergoes a specific treatment (dyeing, branding and washing process) in order to fulfil the high standards and is subject to permanent supervision down to the last step of production. Zips and studs are made from high end materials (gold, silver, copper...) and are produced exclusively for the manufacturing. This attention to detail guarentees an unmistakable and distintive final product.

The overall aesthetic is drawn heavily from the Bauhaus school of design, this reference is not solely confined to bags and leather goods but also forms the leitmotiv of the apparel, shoes and accessories.
