Giorgio Armani have joined forces with renowned luxury car manufacturer Bugatti for an artisanal capsule collection of small leather goods and refined clothing. The Italian and the French brand have come together for the first time to promote a vision of dynamic and timeless elegance. The objective of Giorgio Armani and Bugatti is to offer their customers products that are distinguished by top-quality materials and the skill evident in their creation. The ‘Giorgio Armani for Bugatti’ capsule collection is made for a sophisticated man who constantly seeks out exclusive luxury.
For autumn/winter 2016-17, accessories and garments feature details that reference the iconic motifs of the Bugatti brand. The horseshoe-shaped emblem on the front of the cars is seen on pendants for bags, while Bugatti’s brand colour blue appears on inner linings of bags, in interior pockets and on the treads and insoles of footwear. The palette, focused on the three stylish and timeless colours of cognac, army green and blue, is a recurring element of the collection.
The highlight of the accessories is an elegant briefcase in soft calfskin, made entirely by hand, with a convenient front pocket; there is also an exquisite version of this piece in matte crocodile, lined with tactile and luxurious Bugatti blue suede. In addition, there is a more roomy weekend bag, while small leather goods, available in calfskin or crocodile skin, include belts, wallets, iPad cases, and beauty cases featuring a prominent zip closure.
Clothing includes a coat and blouson jacket in refined double cashmere, superfine cashmere sweaters, a leather jacket with raised collar and concealed hood, as well as treated denim jeans that look as soft as velvet, thanks to their handmade flocking.
The offering is rounded off with calfskin sneakers with crocodile details, which have a blue interior and a ‘Giorgio Armani for Bugatti’ label, a sports driver blazer in crocodile skin, available in cognac and army green, and a cap in double cashmere cloth with trim in Bugatti blue.
Garments and accessories are manufactured in limited editions, numbered and displayed with the special logo: ‘Giorgio Armani for Bugatti’. The capsule collection will be on sale from August 2016 in select Giorgio Armani boutiques and in Bugatti lifestyle boutiques.
