Celest in Moss Green/Ivory, Burgundy/Nude or Cappucci- no/Ivory combines elegance and sophistica- tion in a timeless design. The latest handbag design from Optimef in 100% Italian calf leather is Arthur, a versa- tile bag with an intriguing construction. “Arthur was once a robot. It represents our favourite childhood toy, and we decided to keep its memory alive by reinterpreting it as a functional yet playful shoulder bag.” As the brand is about intriguing constructions, the Arthur bag brings innovation with its leather engineering carried out using seven pins that hold the elements of the bag together. Available in Black/Light Gold, Taupe/Light Gold, Deep Blue/Nude or Orange/Sky Blue, this simple geometric accessory and its col- our-coated interior add to the playfulness of the bag, which can be effortlessly trans- formed into an elegant clutch by removing the shoulder strap and chain. It has a mi- crofibre lining, a 115 cm adjustable shoulder strap, magnetic closure and brass accessories made in Italy, and a dust bag included. Optimef has also created Unibrow sunglasses in Black/Gold or Cocktail/Gold and the City Bike .01 in Black/Copper. Regarding their future, Optimef says, “Curiosity defines us and takes us further, where the cool happens. We are driven by our will to create, improve and explore different design fields. By using crisp geometric shapes and original details, we want our objects to inspire a quiet luxury in a perfect balance of beauty and function.” The brand’s watches, bags, straps, sunglasses, bikes and accessories are available online on their website. www.optimef.com/en
