Season’s Inspiration
It was the golden era of “Swinging London” when everything, fashion, photography, art and music blossomed as never before. A flower power style, hippie-chic spice, made of patchwork, montages, a predominance of graphic elements, and a tribute to Ossie Clark, a key figure in the Sixties and Seventies. This was the world of photographers, designers and celebrities, fascinated by Twiggy and rock star Mick Jagger, that pioneered and interpreted the Seventies style. This sissirossi collection is inspired by some of the works created by Clark together with his wife Celia Birtwell, a textile designer. Images of nature matched with warm tone solid colors, flowery stylized subjects characterized by a border of dark colored contrasting color.

What you’ll find
Italian crafted, rich and natural washed leather handbags of all sizes and colors all at fabulous prices.
