New Line: Luxury Handbags
Estonian design brand by kariné, which started as a fine jewellery brand and just recently opened her clothing line four years ago, has brought a new line to the market - luxury handbags.
The initial bag line consists of two models, clutch and day bag. Available in effective and unique colours, in both printed and natural exclusive crocodile leather. The bags are made by an Italian company, which for the third generation has produced crocodile leather bags and whose clientele also include many known names.
Lou Elisabeth was the right hand in the process of this new line. Lou herself was married to Michele Taddeiga for 24 years, who himself was a known for creating a known bag company Bottega Veneta.
The two both shared their love for life, fashion and - of course - luxury handbags.
The clutch was named “Lou”, after Lou herself, and the day bag was named “Nataly”, after the designer’s daughter.
The collection can be seen in by kariné’s studio, Suur-Karja 2, Tallinn, Estonia.
Pattern with a story behind it
Designers daughter, Nataly, studied jewelry design 3D and graduated 2016 studies in University For the Creative Arts in Great Britain. During the school years she did many sketches & Karin instantly liked the groovy & funky Ghost sketch which first became apart of SS17 jewelry collection and later was also printed as Lifestyle special silk canvas.
