Travel, Italian Style
June 3, 2009 5:52 pm
Antonio Berardi makes dresses so sensational—remember Gwyneth Paltrow’s corseted black and white number?—it stands to reason that the weekend bag he designed for Peroni Nastro Azzurro would be sexy, too. “Peroni is one of Italy’s premium beers; they’re very geared to craftsmanship,” says Berardi. “We asked ourselves, ‘How can we translate that into our philosophy?’ ” The answer: Make the weekender in Italian factories with supple but strong leather that’s rolled by hand, and line it with smaller bags for suits, shoes, toiletries, even a neoprene pouch for wet bathing suits. “You can go straight from the beach to the airport,” says the designer. La dolce vita indeed. The bag will be available for about $1,140 on www.yoox.com beginning next month.
