The luxurious French brand Schiaparelli has just unveiled its latest accessory, revealing the “Schiap” bag for the Ready-to-wear Fall/Winter collection.
Inspired by the brand’s founder – Elsa Schiaparelli, affectionately known as “Schiap” to her friends, the newest bag from the brand impresses with its sharp, powerful silhouette, immediately making waves in the fashion world.
Its classic rectangular shape easily evokes the old-money elegance of the past, while the material used is smooth sheepskin with a glossy texture that catches the eye. Artistic Director Daniel Roseberry shared: “For this new Schiap bag, I wanted to showcase a more classic style rather than chasing trends – I felt simplicity is just perfect right now.”
Simple is better because fundamentally, the meticulously crafted bag exudes a quietly confident elegance. Drawing inspiration from the brand’s distinctive patterns, the bag’s lock is crafted from an intricately decorated large brass plate, creating a mysterious and mesmerizing atmosphere. In other areas, embossed leather straps are accented with sparkling gold stitching, contrasting with the hidden dark pink lining, reminiscent of the “Shocking!” pink fragrance line created by the brand in 1937. Accompanying this is a detachable gold brass strap, allowing the bag to be worn flexibly as a crossbody or a handheld clutch.
Currently, the “Schiap” bag comes in solid colors of black, ecru, and emerald, along with a two-tone version. Expected to debut in September, the “Schiap” bag can be purchased at Schiaparelli Salons in Place Vendôme, Paris, Harrods London, Bergdorf Goodman New York, Neiman Marcus Dallas, and Los Angeles.
