Sarah Guirguis For its spring/summer collection, Double A introduces ‘Nuances of Nature’. Clearly drawing inspiration from the endless hues of nature, this collection continues to embody Double A’s leather signature pieces that never go out of style.
It was a shared global experience when we all needed to quarantine because of the pandemic. A common phenomenon was the growing appreciation we suddenly had in finding peace and seeking beauty in the simple things. This is exactly the place from which the latest collection was born.
Audacious and daring, ‘Nuances of Nature’ is a fusion of bold, vivid colors and fun geometric cutouts. It reinterprets classic archival pieces into newer versions with rich colors, such as imperial gold, orange, blue, green and different shades of pink. With a belief in the confidence exuded by a woman who wears leather, this brand is all about getting you to embrace your independence and powerful femininity.
The latest collection is mainly inspired by the free, untamed motions of nature, waves and even the patterns on palm tree leaves. For example, the ‘Ayla vest’ is exceptionally empowering, as it symbolizes a gladiator’s armour. As for the ‘Chrome vest’, this piece merges two aesthetics of classic punk and elegance. There is no doubt about it that each design is created to be a statement piece that makes your outfit stand out.
While we’ve established that the creative theme is nature, Double A also incorporated sustainable goals in the production process. Keeping the environment in mind, they aimed to minimize waste by reusing leftover leather cutouts. In the making of the ‘Chrome Bag’, which is offered in this collection, Double A worked towards being a zero-waste brand. In case you didn’t know, all the pieces are also handmade locally from start to finish, including cutting the leather, inserting studs and shredding the leather-fringes shredding.
With a family business centered around leather, the sister founders of Double A – Ayah and Aliaa Aboutera – have a good idea how to explore its potential. Making use of the finest natural leather, they aim to contradict the common impression that leather is merely a winter fabric. Utilizing innovative methods, Double A creates their garments in a way that is edgy, modish, comfortable and practical all at the same time. You will notice that this collection is designed with no inner lining this time, in order to ensure that the pieces are more lightweight and season-friendly.
