There is nothing more quietly luxurious than Loro Piana bags (kind of how Hermes was before the tabloids and Hollywood got a hold of them). I bought the Globe bag for Kelly’s birthday 3 years ago in pale pink (and picked up a violet version for myself) and it’s still one of my favorite go to globe trotting bags.
I have compared the craftsmanship of Loro Piana with my Hermes bags and I have to say, it comes pretty damn close (and a helluva lot more functional). But the price is still reasonable in comparison.
In addition to the ‘Globe’ bag (in crocodile above, $18,500) there are a couple more bags I am coveting– Loro Piana bags transcend time and trend so I don’t even think about the season its from!– the ‘Bellevue’ in sunny yellow ostrich ($11,900) is making me re-think yellow bags and the ‘Coral’ bag (35cm, $4,195) in calfskin is a must have for summer and fall. The perfect shade of luggage, it will complement a pair of white shorts or a creamy cashmere sweater, Loro Piana natch. All at Loro Piana boutiques worldwide.
