The Furla SS
2016 collection recounts a journey through Italy in search of light and its
endless shades. Nuances that cut through the new season creating graphic
compositions in bold colour blockings for an eclectic day-into-night
versatility.
Shell, onyx,
acid green, turquoise, sienna brown and lots of deep red bond to playful artsy
effects with an Op art twist, appearing on deconstructed shapes with a distinct
gender-bender appeal. It’s the
lifestyle that counts, one filled with Furla’s quintessential ease, joyfulness and Made in Italy quality.
The latter
was pivotal in developing the collection’s practical
inventiveness and two-in-one character for which detachable mini bags on roomy
totes and clutches serve as both an extra pocket or as the perfect standalone
evening style.
More
specifically, both the Furla Dama tote and the Furla Fantasia maxi clutch come
with a detachable Metropolis bag on the outer flap while the Furla Artesia bag
is characterized by a removable inner panel with slots for wallets, smartphone,
coins and other everyday essentials.
Similarly, a
charming micro Metropolis tempers the tautness of a bi-color Furla Zafiro work
bag, a revisited men’s style, while timeless shoppers
feature multi-function double-layered pockets. All are laboriously crafted from
full-grain calfskin, at times featuring a hammered deer skin effect or printed.
The iconic
Furla Metropolis universe is enriched with a larger bi-color version featuring
a geometric 3-D printed strap and with painstaking details such as hand-woven
flaps and hand-knotted piping for the iconic small size.
Brand new and
exclusive to travel retail is the YOYO bag, a Mini Crossbody with a zip top and
chain strap available in Conchiglia, Jade, and Onyx. A combination of Ares and
Pop Star Leather make the YOYO bag a trendy lightweight bag ideal for travel
retail.

Says Furla
Global Travel Retail Director Gerry Munday: “I’m delighted that the SS16 offer will include another travel retail
exclusive offer. The Piper Medium Dome has been incredibly well-received by our
customers and the sell-through is superb. The Yoyo bag is equally perfect for
travel retail and complements another amazing collection from Furla.”
The footwear
is a constant exchange between formal-informal, ultra-colored and enriched with
precious artisanal details.
The
presentation will be held at the Salone Dei Tessuti in a minimalist tunnel-like
setting evocative of art installations where coloured panels, smoky mirrors and
display columns enhance the 10 key shapes, colors, textures and details.
The new SS16
collection will be shown on the Furla stand (XXXX) at TFWA World Exhibition.
