It’s hard to find something not yet seen in the world of fashion and design. Something that surprises and amazes. Yet in front of the luxury bags of Femea Milano, you’ll be amazed. They are a tribute to Italy, a land of excellent craftsmanship. They are luxury à porter. Ladies bags, leather goods jewels on which to invest today to find a treasure tomorrow. They blend art and fashion, marble and leather, antique and design, never losing sight of the contemporary.
The Femea Milano brand is the result of a collaboration between manager Luca Cantele and architect Fabiana Scrudato. A couple of creative talents united by a passion for beauty, with twenty years of experience in the world of luxury design and in the curriculum collaborations with some of the most famous brands worldwide such as Fendi, Trussardi, Bentley and Bugatti.
Their first collection is called City Collection, and each bag reproduces, with 3D bas-reliefs made of marble powder, three important Italian cities: Rome, Milan and Venice. In detail, Piazza di Spagna, Piazza Duomo and the Rialto Bridge. Three places famous and admired all over the world for their beauty and exclusivity.
All bags, numbered, are produced with top quality leather and the sculptures, in powdered travertine marble, are made and hand-painted by master craftsmen. The compound used is the same that composes the marble, then worked with other secret components that allow for lightening the sculpture of the typical weight of the material. The light and shade effect of the paint is also done by hand.
The typical imperfections of marble and derived from the entire manufacturing process make each bag unique and unrepeatable. “Experimenting with new forms, imagining outside the box, taking care of the finishing of the product, seeking excellence and preserving the artisan memory are fundamental elements for us and inspire us every day” declare Luca Cantele and Fabiana Scrudato.
“It took over two years of work and experimentation before we were ready to launch our first line on the market. We wanted everything to be perfect.” And so it is. The result is a collection of timeless “postcard” bags, which have already become the object of desire. Cosmopolitan, curious women that love to travel, always want to carry with her the elegance and savoir-faire of Made in Italy.
Two colors: black and white. Nuances at the antipodes but both synonymous with class and refinement. One expresses hope for the future and evokes spirituality; the other is associated with mystery and depth. Three sizes are available:
- Small, for a glamorous evening or a social event.
- Medium, for the woman manager who works.
- Large, for those who love large sizes and do not forget that a woman’s bag is her secret source of power.
And when you get tired of carrying your bags by hand, and you are afraid to lose them, paraphrasing Coco Chanel, (undisputed queen of style) there is the shoulder strap, included in the refined packaging. Couldn’t ask for more.
