The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2022 - Issue 31

bitebags Polish fashion and accessories designer Magda Butrym introduces her first handbag collection to Cristina Lloyd, which ignites the inner goddess in women. Butrym’s handmade Off Shoulder Fringe Cro- chet Top in cream has a long fringe detailing at the hem. You'll find two bow ties in the back that close the top while revealing an open back. The top can be matched with the Fringe Crochet Mini Skirt in cream, which has a fringe trim and zip- back closure, or the mini skirt can be teamed with a matching blazer or one of the designer’s other crochet pieces. The interesting Crochet Bra T-Shirt in white is reinvented with a classic cro- chet bustier bra sewn into the bust of the t-shirt. The spectrum of seduction presents leather coats, jackets and blazers, pants and skirts, and dresses such as the Shiny Leather Trench Coat in black. This classic oversized trench coat has a slight sheen to the leather to give it an up- dated look to a classic style and features a gun flap, double-breasted buttons, tie waist and wrist straps. Feather Flare Leather Pants in black have a high waist with thick ostrich blend feather trim up the legs that give it a boot-like effect to the pants. Leather Bustier Midi Dress in black created through the brand’s emblematic handicraft leath- er weaving technique has a bustier bodice and retro circular cups with 3D leather flower details on each cup. Lace Up Leather Mini Skirt in brown or black has a criss-cross lace-up detail on both sides, complete with front zip closure, belt loops and pockets. At the same time, Stitched Leather Biker Skirt in black is fitted with a high waist and decorated with typical moto padded stitching de- tails for an added effect. Be the talk of the beach with Magda Butrym’s swimwear! The Criss Cross Bandeau Swim Top in white or red mini floral print, or powder pink, has a criss-cross at the chest and a halter neck tie. It’s free of padding and can be worn as a pull- on bikini without closure. The matching High Leg Swim Bottom is in the same hues as the swim top but with additional black, cream and fuchsia pink colours. The oversized rose clip can be detached from the high-waisted bottom, worn on the bikini top, or left off altogether. The Cutout Bandage Swim Top in white mini floral print, black or fuchsia pink features a criss-cross cutout detailing on the body and a sash bow tie in the back. Its sweetheart-shaped cups are light- ly padded and meet at the centre with a twist in the fabric, giving a ruched effect. The swim top is similarly matched to the High Leg Swim Bottom in the same colours and additional powder pink, red mini floral print, and cream. The high cuts at the front and back of the leg allow you to show off more skin. This season, Magda Butrym launched her first handbag collection. Vesna Silver Beads, Pink Crystals, Flower Beads, Cream Crochet and Black Crystals, available in micro and medium, is a hobo bag with a classic yet trendy shape. It has a signature crystal strap brooch that can be detached from the bag and worn as an accessory on shoes or clothing. Additionally, there is Black Leather, Blue Denim and Cream Crochet in the medium and Black Crystals, Black Leather and Blue Denim in the large. It has a single leather handle allowing the hand- bag to be worn on the shoulder, at the crook of the arm, or handheld. The bag’s interior is made from suede leather and features a single pocket and magnetic closure. The handbag uses bead- ed embroidery, diamanté crystals or crochet for a glamorous or distinctive Magda Butrym state- ment look. At the same time, the leather presents a minimal look, and the monogram-printed denim has a fun and vintage look. Leila Clutch Cream, Red, Pink or Cream Fringe Crochet, Black Leather or Blue Denim Box Clutch with gold hardware, a magnetic closure and a suede interior will make the perfect evening bag. The Zorya Black Crystal in micro and Zorya Black Leather in micro or small is a structured top han- dle bag with an elegant, boxy shape. Inside, it has the exact interior details as the Vesna with diamanté crystals or smooth leather with a gold embossed logo at the top.
