Ralph Lauren: the art of creation
The most expensive bag in the history of the fashion house Ralph Lauren, the eminent designer dedicated not to actresses and singers, but to his beloved wife and, concurrently, his Muse and business partner, Ricky Loren. The bag was immediately registered, but then other American women of fashion wanted to have Ricky Bag in their wardrobe.
So the idea came to sew these bags to order. A distinctive feature of Ricky Bag is that the sketch of the bag to order is created individually, and each of its details at all stages of manufacture is measured and cut by hand, which allows you to achieve perfect elegant lines and a recognizable silhouette. The creation of one Ricky Bag takes up to 12 hours. The leather for its parts and trim elements is cut out of 50 separate pieces. To produce one bag, approximately four alligator skins are required. Each skin is carefully selected and processed in a special way, so the Ricky bag will serve its owner for many years and will even “age” beautifully. Waxed cotton is used to protect the bag from wear.
The edges of the Ricky Bag are formed from three layers of skin that are polished and dyed, creating a natural densification process and providing a perfect contour. At the end of work with cut edges, the seam is fixed with wax, and handles of a special shape are created.
Lancel: the alphabet of love of the great Dali
Lancel House has released an unusual collection of bags dedicated to the love story of Salvador Dali and his muse and wife - Gala (nee Elena Dmitrievna Dkonova). Bags and accessories of the collection are decorated with "daligrams" - symbols that the artist created to express his feelings for his beloved. "Daligrams" are combinations of the initials of Dali and Gala (S, D, G), their own language, with the help of which the lovers communicated with each other in letters. Each "daligram" is a declaration of love.
The Lancel bag collection also has a story. In the 1970s, according to the designs of Salvador Dali, Lancel House created a unique bag with a handle in the form of a bicycle chain, decorated with "dalagrams" - a gift for the Muse of Genius. 40 years later, Leonello Borgi, creative director of Lancel House, developed the Daligramme collection of bags and accessories based on Dali's unique style. Every detail of the collection is symbolic: starting with “daligrams” woven from interweaving of threads of several original colors, in total giving a unique shade, and ending with a lining of the color of red lobster. The collection includes not only bags, but also purses, belts, bracelets and other accessories made of jacquard leather
