Avete mai desiderato di poter disegnare la vostra borsa dei sogni? Ora questo desiderio può diventare realtà grazie a Quattropiume, un nuovo brand di lusso nato a Firenze dalla passione di 4 amici i quali hanno voluto dare questa possibilità a tutti.



Per realizzare anche io questo piccolo sogno di progettare dalla A alla Z una borsa personalizzata sono andata a Firenze per conoscere Quattropiume e meglio capire il processo dietro questo nuovo servizio di lusso. Circondata da pellami pregiati dentro un contesto classico con influenze fiorentine con pavimenti in marmo, vetrate, arazzi e affreschi ho conosciuto cosi non solo un brand ma la passione con la quale questo progetto è nato. 



 



Questo nuovo servizio che guarda al futuro, dove tutti vorremmo avere cose uniche e partecipare attivamente alla creazione del nostro stile, è fortemente legato al passato e alla specialità toscana nel lavorare i pellami. Mentre noi ci mettiamo la nostra creatività nel disegnare una borsa unica, sono gli artigiani pelletieri, usando la loro maestria, che realizzeranno la nostra clutch personalizzata per una produzione 100% Made in Italy.



"Quattropiume" nasce a Firenze e nel nome racchiude la vera essenza del brand: “quattro”, le menti che lo hanno fondato, più “me” dedicato a chi diventa designer della propria borsa e interpreta il suo ideale di bellezza con creatività ed originalità.





I passi da seguire nella creazione della nostra clutch da sogno sono stati resi facili grazie al lavoro di Quattropiume. Sul sito possiamo già trovare una vasta gamma di forme, colori e pelli preziose di pitone, coccodrillo e lucertola in varie versioni che rendono la scelta molto più semplice. Una volta che disegniamo la nostra clutch con l’aiuto di un programma di progettazione 3d scegliendo per ogni parte di essa colori e tipi di pelle, ci vogliono solo 45 giorni per avere in mano l’opera d’arte creata.

Have you ever wished you could design your own bag? For sure I have. Now that wish has become true thanks to Quattropiume, the latest luxury accessories brand born in Florence from 4 friends who wanted to give everyone the chance to design their dream bags. 



Making this little dream of mine of designing my own bag was the reason of my trip to Florence a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful experience of discovery. While you are the one putting your creativity into making your dream clutch, local leather artisans are the ones molding your bag using the process and techniques they are famous for.

 

 



The Quattropiume process seems easy to our internet savvy generation but having the customer and the best leather artisans involved directly in the creation of a bag isn't an easy fit. The time, expertise and effort that goes into creating a piece of fashion art is lots of work and that is why this is a very luxury experience. In the era when fashion is going towards customization, Quattropiume takes it to the next level by offering a total new experience of creating your style from scratch. 



"Quattropiume" is born in Florence and its name identifies the nature of the brand itself. In English, it literally translates “four feathers”, but in Italian it actually conceals a pun: QUATTRO means four, referring to the four founder minds, while PIU'-ME means PLUS ME, dedicated to the customer who becomes the stylist of her own clutch bag, translating her idea of beauty with creativity and originality. 





The steps to be taken in the creation of your dream clutch are made easy by Quattropiume, having them already selected a wide range of shapes, colors and precious leathers of python, crocodile, and lizard. Once you have designed your clutch through a 3D design program the bag will be delivered to you in 45 days. While I know that in the era of online shopping we expect everything to be delivered immediately, in this case, the clutches are handmade by leather artisans and it takes time for luxury fashion to come to life.

One of the most searched phrases regarding gifts online is ' What does it mean gifting a fragrance? '

[caption id="attachment_14505" align="aligncenter" width="1100"] BOSS The scent Fragrance -  Dress PAROSH[/caption]

When I was a teenager I had heard that gifting a fragrance brings the relationship to end because the relationship would fade like the scent. It was the same for gifts like a watch that meant that the relationship would end once the watch stopped ticking or a brooch that was regarded as a gift that might stab a person’s heart creating pain for the relationship. Teenagers can be so overly dramatic. And because of these stupid beliefs, I had lots of Teddy Bears as Valentine's gifts and once was gifted a bunny rabbit that hid for days behind a cupboard and eventually was brought back to the pet shop to be exchanged for 2 lovebirds. Back to adulthood and every thoughtful gift is accepted with immense pleasure and we are mature enough to know that gifting pets is a no-no. 



Fragrances are one of the most thoughtful and intimate gifts, showing how someone took the time to get you something to feel pampered and this Valentine's Day a special fragrance is out: BOSS The Scent for her. This is the fragrance bringing you into a journey of love and passion that will remain in the memories through scent. A sweet mix of flowery and fruity notes that show the romantic side of this perfume. It is one of the softest fragrances I've tried lately, making it a very intimate fresh scent. 

BOSS The Scent for Her

It opens with the freshness peach notes and immediately you are hit by the purity of freesia flowers.  It is a very soft and warm freshness that looks feminine. In the heart, it has osmanthus while in the base notes it takes a gourmand twist with dark roasted cocoa. The jewelry bottle of BOSS The Scent is a first for BOSS fragrances that have always been clean in design. The bottle cap resembles a man's shirt cufflink making a direct link to BOSS The Scent for him that so much is loved by men. 

BOSS The Scent for Him

It is a very romantic idea of going out for Valentine's Day wearing matching fragrances. While they don't match in scent, BOSS the Scent for Him definitely brings out some strong notes that give a protective feel over the delicate women's fragrance. With leather, African Maninka, and spicy ginger notes, this fragrance is very seductive.  Like all the range of BOSS fragrances for men, it smells like something familiar, a man that we have met and loved.
