Loro Piana Fall/Winter 2023
'Extra Bag' sets the Fall Pulse Racing
written Amanda Morentson
Fall in, rebels. Loro Piana drops a sartorial bombshell with their newest creation: the Extra Bag.
A fierce reincarnation of the once raved-about Extra Pocket from the frosty haze of Fall Winter 2019-2020, this bad boy is all set to steal the limelight and rule every fashion-forward soul's arsenal. Think of it as the maison's edgiest retort to the daily dilemma of 'what to carry' – a mad mix of style, stance, and sheer sophistication.
Let’s talk form.
Contemporary yet timeless, with a hint of drama, this bag embodies a plush rectangular-ish silhouette, sure to make heads turn from SoHo to Shibuya. Crafted with an almost palpable passion, the bag exudes quality; the finest calfskin is transformed into a texture that's both lavish and lustrous. It’s as if you're holding a velvety dream.

And oh, the details!
It's evident that Loro Piana was quite literally "stitched in thought" when designing this beauty. The contrasting ecru stitches hark back to traditional leather lore, and the two-way shoulder strap? It's versatile fashion's answer to contemporary chaos, whether you're more a one-shoulder sashay or a cross-body crusader.
Now, a brief pause for the showstoppers: those two new charms. Gleaming golden lockets, with the sultry initials "LP", stand out against the leather canvas. Whether you're pulling at the ample zipper or admiring the vintage key fob, there's a sense of legacy, a promise of timelessness.
Loro Piana plays a color symphony, too. From the ethereal white of "Sunday Morning" (reminding us of lazy brunches and sheets kissed by the sun) to the sultry depth of "Dark Chocolate Licorice" and "New Petrolio." And then, for those in-the-know, there's "Deep Kummel" – Loro Piana’s signature shade that softly whispers feminine charm.
The Extra Bag offers more than mere utility; it represents a story, a tribute to timeless grace. Imagine meandering through autumnal Parisian boulevards, carrying a piece that feels both light and balanced.
As autumn approaches, anticipate seeing this refined piece in Loro Piana boutiques and on their online collection.
