From tiny bags you could have passed for a wallet, tastes have moved on to XXL bags — really scaled-up bags that carry everything but the kitchen sink.
A glimpse of this bag trend was seen in the latest collection unveiled by Furla at its Greenbelt 5 store recently.
Young ladies in either skintight or skin-baring outfits tried on the variety of styles displayed at the store. With a nod to minimalism and Italian architecture of the '50s, the new Furla Fall-Winter 2023 collection themed "Italian Garden" — reinvented its classics with fresh aesthetic — all in Italian leather only, of course!
Russian supermodel Irina Shayk is the face of the collection. She carries the Furla Giove bag, which is a big tote that comes with a color-contrasting mini bag, so it's like two bags in one. Ideal for travel, it comes in four sizes to personalize with long, adjustable and interchangeable handles.
The Metropolis Remix collection now comes in a bow silhouette.
Pops of pink and purple are seen throughout the collections. The Furla Arch with turn-lock closure also makes the bags distinctive.
The Furla Flow line stands out for its roomy tote bags and practical saddle bags in smooth calfskin leather, with crocodile print leather in new silhouettes. This carryall tote is lightweight for its size.
Furla reinterprets an icon from its '90s archive: Unica Furla, a sculptural-shaped maxi or medium shoulder bag — it is the classic bucket bag reimagined with a sleek shape and gradient colors.
This year, the iconic Furla 1927 returns in a brand new crossbody bag in soft quilted Nappa leather with a metal chain strap, available in three sizes.
The Furla Opportunity, available in four sizes, comes in playful fabrics and additional lifestyle touches like extra strap and bag scarf. It is said to be "the ultimate shopping bag of the Furla universe."
Furla, of course, has its collections of smaller bags for other occasions, now in fresh colors like floral prints and yellows. The sleek camera bags come in the season's favorite shade of olive, as well as dove grey.
Whether maxi or mini, carry the look of the season with a fresh infusion of accessories.
