Playful like a ladybug

Carefree, playful and fresh best describe the handbags and soft satchels of Coccinelle’s spring/summer 2017 collection. Reflecting the glamour of the 50s and 60s, they come in soft yellow, baby pink and light blue with multi-colored candies, cookie bag charms, and the bon ton bow that can be worn alone or adorning a larger bag.

Shoulder, travel and bucket bags employ a little rock-and-roll and a little globetrotter in spirit privileging suede, leather, honeycomb canvas and gypsy embroideries. Focus is on the 70’s-inspired saddle bag, unlined and embellished by laser cuts and golden clasps. It changes face thanks to its two removable shoulder straps; leather for the city and woven canvas for a touch of bohemian.

            Backpacks, bucket bags and satchels in mini versions come in solid colors – white, blue and red. Inspired by a warm, passionate and positive muse, the return of the briefcase in practical and dynamic sizes and the tote with adjustable handles for two lengths – hand and shoulder – are available. Shapes, stitching and metal studs are softened by the suppleness of suede, python-print and deer-print leather. Powdery pink and terracotta hues are borrowed from the deserts of California
