Anatomy of the shape

This design technique and using precious materials to incorporate the bag’s particular shape make it stand out. The V-Shape is aerodynamic, which represents cutting through the wind while sailing. The body is entailed with the help of an articulated zipper.

A chain weighs down the zipper and links it with a medallion engraved with Etro’s logo and Pegaso. It also comes in two sizes: medium & large.

Your Style is Elegant.

This bag screams minimalism, which the brand communicated through its revealing campaign featuring Bianca Balti. The image’s background is almost nude, with minimum distractions, making the bag stand out.

This should be the inspiration when you are pairing the bag. Being the formal article, carry it with a solid red carpet gown, and you may become elegant! You don’t want to ensemble it with too many colors or themes.

It’s more versatile than it seems!

The bag has a double detachable shoulder strap, where things get interesting. With this element, you can wear it as a crossbody bag, and suddenly it’s more casual. Now you can use it to complement skirts or crop tops with Denim, but remember, this calfskin leather base bag would still be best with an overall simplistic ensemble, even for casual events!

Editors Pick

One color that stands out in the entire range is yellow. This rusty shade is unique from all other run-of-the-mill colors but is equally hard to pair.
