Fendi revamps bag
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS from its first launch in 2014, for Autumn/Winter 2024 Fendi has revamped its signature By The Way Boston bag, with a new super-relaxed version elevated through the use of Selleria and its intrinsic codes. It follows the luxurious softness and comfort of the season yet remaining faithful to its original Boston design and distinctive features. The bag is available in three sizes — large, medium, and mini. The By The Way Selleria family is crafted in soft Cuoio Romano naturally grained leather, sewn with bold tone-on-tone hand-made macro-stitches which enrich the studded handles, and a Selleria leather tag celebrating a craft with 100 years of history. The deconstructed silhouette results from a spacious, unique interior compartment. The design and functionality of the bag are enhanced with the addition of a knotted leather zip puller, a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap styled with a knot, and a leather keyring. Colorways include cappuccino, dove grey, military green, and classic black, as well as seasonal tones of blue. The style is available also in FF jacquard for both medium and mini sizes, while the latter is also made in a sculpted shearling variation in baby blue, pink, red, military green, and yellow. The bag will be available in Fendi boutiques worldwide and on fendi.com starting this month.
Kallista by Kohler means designer personal spaces
EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at Sanitec, Kallista by Kohler offers a portfolio of design-driven bath and kitchen hardware by partnering with world-renowned designers, architects, and artists to reimagine every detail. Kallista highlights collections made in collaboration with interior and product designer Laura Kirar, and 2011 Wall Street Journal Innovator of the Year for architecture Bjarke Ingels. Kirar’s Pinna Paletta collection is jewelry-inspired, blending tactile details and sculptural forms. From hand showers and faucets to towel bars and hooks, each bathroom fixture features textural etchings in luxurious finishes such as chrome, unlacquered brass, and polished nickel with antique accents. Sanitec carries another Kirar collection called Kallista Foundations. Notable pieces include the elliptical Myam Vessels which feature a solid bronze cast that develops a unique patina over time. Available in matte black and white, these decorative vessels are perfect for the master bath, powder bath, or entertainment space. Ingels and Danish design firm KiBiSi collaborated on the Taper collection, marrying advanced engineering with the principles of classic Mid-Century Danish design. The concept removes the multiple components or parts that would usually go into a fixture, and instead keeps it at just one streamlined piece. The Taper Sink Faucet, with its signature cone-to-cylinder, forward-leaning profile, and 90-degree bend merges the countertop, faucet, and running water into one visually seamless design and embodies the collection’s unconventional, playful approach without excess.
