Completed studies in architecture, specialising in gemmology. Training that ranges from the macro to the micro, within which Simona Tagliaferri developed her passion for accessories, and more generally for the structures in materials. An experience that has involved collaborating with leading international brands, and resulted in the pieces carrying her name being exhibited in various contemporary art galleries, including the prestigious MoMa Gallery in New York. An imperceptible signature, the S and the T are placed directly in focus on the material of her creations, magnificent handbags and some spectacular capes designed using the same decorative principles as the accessories.

Her vast experience in the design of leather and metal makes it possible for Simona Tagliaferri to achieve an original fusion between the two materials, creating the Anima range of medium and large-sized bags and weatherproof shoulder bags that have a waxed and wrinkled effect, and defy a rigid shape.

A project that revolves around the simple premise that a bag, in its everyday context as a reference item of life, which is increasingly conducted outside the home, must respond to needs that are firstly practical: lightness, spaciousness and resistance. Pockets and zips are easily accessed and each compartment is very spacious.

There is special attention to the product’s aesthetics based on the idea that this represents a piece of baggage that will be carried around the entire day, and which should be able to fit one’s entire world; the product is metropolitan and essential, expressed in neutral shades, from pitch black to pale grey, thanks to the leather that has been treated using ecological and anti-allergic methods, and then combined with linen and metal.

A bag that one could become attached to, and which easily integrates and corresponds with clothing that has strong artistic, experimental and cosmopolitan tendencies.

More of the creative tumult that inspires the world of Flemish designer, Nico Uytterhaegen! From perfumes to jewellery, the artist is versatile and inimitable when it comes to producing leather accessories.

The craftsmanship and modernity of his products are immediately apparent. High-quality, hand-crafted Italian leather is moulded into a complex and abstract system of lines, seams, zips, folds and gathers to create bags in new shapes, which are as aesthetically appealing as they are useful.

As a serious designer, Uytterhaegen gives utmost importance to the functionality of his products and makes this the starting point of the creative process. Handles are designed not to be grabbed but to be completely slipped over the hand; bags may be carried on the arm or slung around the neck according to need.

Models that appear undersized when flat, unexpectedly expand into soft, comfortable three dimensional bags when filled to the surprise of onlookers.

Bags, cylinders and circles, experiments for daily life, compatible with forward-looking fashions, geared towards recognizing and emphasizing aesthetic values, even in the most practical aspects of our hurried existence.
