When I think of Lucrezia Kauffmann, the first words that come to mind are art and fashion. The Milanese designer is a tribute to art, colour and fun. An explosive mix of ideas that take concrete form in bags with joyful shapes and infinite shades of colour, with original and non-reproducible details. Lucrezia Kauffmann, as a material with which to give life to her collections, prefers leather, a material that the designer has loved since childhood being the daughter of artisans of leather for generations as well as collectors and art lovers.
Lucrezia does not set limits and boundaries both in the inspiration phase and in the realization phase. The uniqueness of its collections derives both from the careful selection of Italian raw materials and a skilful craftsmanship, which make the product of the highest quality and 100% made in Italy, and from its ability to break the traditional rules of conception of art, taking inspiration from art for each of its collections.
His first creations were developed to measure for a wedding party and had a whole different shape and taste than what the brand offers today because today they are characterized by a large zip that acts as a central element on the front of the bag, an element that is the hallmark of the brand.
The cakes and toys inspired the Candy Memphis collection for the FW 2017/18 and the circus the Circus Memphis collection for the SS 18 which led to the birth of its first capsule collection, which, as in the most bizarre games of balance, are characterized by small colored spheres that stand in a row and combine with brilliant Swarovski positioned near the zip. Extreme cubic feet placed on the bottom of the bags not only provide stability, but also provide greater protection, as they can be placed without fear of damaging the skin.
Lucrezia Kaufmann’s ability to be inspired by everything around her has led, for the FW 18-19 season, to the creation of the Spaceland Fontana collection, monochrome bags dedicated to the spatial artist Lucio Fontana, whose aim is to celebrate the art and playful aspect of everyday life. To embellish the line and make the bag even brighter, light gold elements highlight the details. The truth is that every element of any Lucrezia Kaufmann collection is truly unique and everything is conceived, designed and produced to attract attention, to capture the gaze of those around us and to demonstrate that eccentricity can be harmonious, all without ever overshadowing quality.
