There is a complex production process behind every product in a shop. In the series “From the needle to the thread”, Fashionunited speaks with an expert: inside about how everyday clothing and accessories are created. This time: the Italian production team of the Dutch fashion label converter on the creation of the Hortensia Bag – the first design of the label.
The Hortensia BAG is manufactured by hand. The production of a single bag can take up to eight hours.
The manufacturing process of the Hortensia Bag of converter
“Every masterpiece begins with the quality of the material,” said the Italian producer of the bag. Wanders only uses Italian veal leather (Vitello), which is supplied by the LWG (Leather Working Group). The leather comes from cattle that were bred according to the strict EU standards. The calf leather is colored especially for converters. The colors are also LWG certified.
Cut the leather
“The leather is carefully cut into different shapes. The recognizable round shape of the Hortensia Bag, combined with the characteristic ‘wings’ on the sides, forms the basis of the design.”
Gold foil pressed on leather
Then the logo – the text “converter” – and the text “Made in Italy” with gold foil are pressed onto the leather.
Refining with golden hardware
This is followed by the finishing with gold -colored metal parts, such as the magnetic closure and zipes.
Stocking the parts
Finally, the loose parts are sewn or glued together by hand and all edges of the bag are provided by hand with a black layer of paint.
The end result
The Hortensia BAG is available in two formats: medium (895 euros) and mini (795 euros) and is available in different colors. The bag is equipped with several storage compartments and two carrying options, a short handle and an adjustable shoulder strap.
