Italian fashion label Emporio Armani has introduced a new accessories line called ‘1981’. The name refers to the year the brand was founded. The collection is based on archival research and features a recurring origami-inspired design feature.
The focus of the collection is a micro-print from the brand’s archives. It has been reinterpreted as a defining motif for the entire line. According to a press release from Emporio Armani, the bags are designed to be suitable for different moments of the day. Thanks to versatile silhouettes and clean lines, they are suitable for both work and leisure.
The line includes rounded hobo bags with a subtle asymmetrical pleat, tote bags, handbags and shoulder bags with a structured flap. A common detail across all models is a series of pleats that the brand says are inspired by the Japanese art of origami. These create striking, tactile surfaces throughout the collection.
Metal details include a clasp that nods to the brand’s jewelry heritage. The design is complemented by pendants with folded shapes. The color palette includes cognac, black and taupe.
Emporio Armani’s ‘1981’ bags are available worldwide in select boutiques and on the brand’s website.
