Loro Piana: Extra, All Day, Everyday

By now, the term ‘quiet luxury’ would have become familiar to all who are cued into the rise and fall of trends. Unlike many other trends though, quiet luxury’s stealth mode is a winning formula for timeless, lasting classics that are as stylish as they are comfortable and functional. Loro Piana has mastered this art with extreme finesse, from the sourcing of quality materials to the savoir faire in crafting the most exquisite creations designed to last. For Fall Winter 2023-2024, the spotlight turns to the new Extra Bag, a sophisticated evolution of the Extra Pocket, the maison’s iconic leather pouch bag.

Defined by the same clean, modern lines and versatility in use, the Extra Bag is a much awaited addition to the Extra collection. The almost rectangular shape adds visual interest without compromising functionality; its roomy interior fits all the daily essentials, allowing you to insert or remove the contents easily without having to rummage endlessly.

The Extra Bag evokes the softness of Loro Piana fabrics and the iconic textures of the brand’s textile archives. Crafted from the finest quality calfskin, the bag is soft and sumptuous to the touch with a handcrafted texture that comes from Loro Piana’s Italian artisanal know-how and meticulous craftsmanship. Despite its suppleness, the masterful execution lets it maintain its graceful shape and structure. Details such as contrasting stitching in ecru evoke traditional leather-working. The two new charms, three-dimensional polished golden lockets engraved with the initials LP: one for the ample zipper opening, and the other inside the vintage-style leather key fob, add a touch of refinement.

True to its intent to be your everyday essential, the lightweight gem of a bag comes with a two-way shoulder strap to be worn on the shoulder or crossbody. A versatile colour palette that goes with various styles, includes brilliant tones like bright white (Sunday Morning), deeper tones such as Black, Dark Chocolate Licorice and New Petrolio, and the feminine shade of Deep Kummel, the maison’s iconic nuance.
