Flair Magazine Urban & Exotic: The Aigner Leather Collection Spring/Summer 2014
By Hend Seif El Din
Senior designer Christian Beck combines this urban joie de vivre with Brazil’s exotic nature. Elaborate embossing patterns on the leather reflect the country’s lush flora and fauna: The surface structures of crocodile and lizard skin, raffia texture, handcrafted braided elements and Saffiano leather symbolize the richness of the rainforest.
The colours of this leather collection echoes the intense and varied hues of South America: Bright, radiant shades of Pink, Yellow, Orange and Green mingle with subtle nuances of Gold, Terra and Nude.
The creative and carefully crafted details of the luxury bags are an expression of Aigner’s love for leather: One of the highlights is the new interpretation of the Aigner logo as a leopard print combined with bright contrasting colours. In the Collection S/S 2014, Aigner’s signature traditional craftsmanship meets modern design elements and big, bold colour blocking. Sophisticated details such as zippers, studs and clever closures turn these bag creations into very special luxury pieces.
The bag shapes contain Aigner’s DNA: Clear and significant. The Munich-based leather lifestyle brand remains true to classic craftsmanship, focussing on the finest leather qualities, careful finishing and modern design. Classic models such as “All In”, “Icon Cover” or “Cavallina” receive a new, elegant twist with creative elements like leopard prints and innovative textural embossing. The result: Exclusive leather creations bringing together traditional leather craft and innovative style in a very impressive way.
The Collection Spring/Summer 2014 offers three themes or colour ranges:
BIRDS OF THE AMAZON
The exotic, fresh world of the Amazon rainforest: Palm Green, Rio Blue and Toucan Yellow paired with White and Raffia hues.
SUBLIME NATURE
Soft, clean natural shades: Amazon Green, Apricot, Terra and Bahia Brown.
COPA CARNIVAL
The strong, feminine and intense colours represent joy, dance and driving rhythms: Heliconia, Pitaya Red and Gold, anchored by Acacia Brown.
