The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2021 - Issue 29

biteaccessories Taipei.” The stacked bowls, reminiscent of Far Eastern armour or the horsetail-like structure of pagoda roofs and the three-dimen- sional hinged lid pattern reminiscent of a gateway to infinity influ- ence the design of Taipei in Deep Nero Black. Taipei made from Italian soft satin calfskin with a subtle grain pat- tern is combined with glossy waxed calfskin. It has the usual deli- cate micro-sided lining with additional silver-coloured metal ele- ments, a flat inner compartment with zip closure to keep valuables safe and secure, a pocket for mobile phones and other essentials, a securely protected self-regulating and invisible magnetic closure and an optional carrying strap, or crossover, of up to 130 cm. Ostwald Finest Couture is the contemporary classic line of the ac- cessory house. “Subtle, classic design and independent of seasonal trends, our bag collection is less the commercial It-bag than the favourite piece for eternity.” This finely sensed bag line, favoured on the international stage received the renowned APLF Award for ex- cellent product design mentioned earlier at the international fash- ion fair in Hong Kong. A true eye-opener is the Glide Loop crossbody bag in bright Cop- per/Red shiny metabolised calfskin from Italy combined with lay- ered calfskin. Also available in Nero Black and Cognac, this style represents the pure understatement of a gliding leather lock with a total of three magnets embedded in the bag lid for the elegant magnetic closure. It’s lined with high-quality delicate micro-suede on the inside and features three inner compartments, including one with a zip closure to keep valuables safe and secure. The Case Tote in Bright Senape Yellow, made from Italian soft satin calfskin with a subtle grain pattern, is more than a simple bag with a closure. Two invisible lips folded inwards, with hidden magnets, close the flexibly expandable front and back sides. The bag is opened by pulling the handles slightly to reveal a spacious interior. It has a large central compartment, a slip pocket and a zipped pocket. Like the Glide, it has a delicate micro-suede lining, gold-coloured metal elements and three inner compartments. In Deep Nero Black and Fiery Lipstick Red, the Calzone Clutch is made from Italian soft calf suede with an expressive croc embossing combined with a black calfskin light-sating finish with thick piping around the edges. To ergonomically and effortlessly carry this bag, the hand slides under the firm handle. A zip allows the owner to access the comfortable interior with a studio badge. In addition to the usual features, it has a securely protected zip closure. The brand also produces accessories for men, including the Week- ender and Messenger bags, Necessaire toiletry bag, single and triple watch cases, cardholders, passport holders and wallets.
