The resplendent Villa Mozart was the venue for a special event recently. The elegant ambience of the Milanese location provided the perfect backdrop for the unveiling of Serapian’s Spring/Summer 2022 Women’s collection -- a glorious tale of unsurpassed craftsmanship.

The new Mosaico creation dubbed 1928 merges the iconic hand-braided technique for a stellar, ultra-modern reinterpretation. In a nod to the original design, the 1928 model has a more pronounced three-dimensional variation of the pleated nappa stripes. This seemingly minor difference completely rebuilds the original with an innovative attitude. However, what remains unaltered is its delicate and hand-made appearance.

Available in black, white, blush, mimosa, Sahara and blue Paraggi, the new handbag, bears the moniker that represents the year of Serapian’s founding. Available in two sizes, both of which boast the iconic Mosaico-shaped lock. The design is inspired by precious brooches with metal and leather or metal and precious stones such as malachite, rhodochrosite and amethyst.

In essence, it’s a bag that captures a sophisticated, artistic and poetic spirit of the Milanese lifestyle of Serapian. Every bag is fully hand-crafted in Italy and has a distinct personality. Furthermore, clients that seek a bespoke look when it comes to engravings and the metal component of the lock, the 1928 can be customised according to their preference.

With new shades such as Nero d’Estate, a new interpretation of black melded with energetic bright tones; the refreshing Bianco Riviera, the glorious yellow Giallo Portofino and the clear blue sea tones of Blu Paraggi, the Mosaico universe offers a diverse range unlike any other.

Also available are timeless shapes of the Secret bag or the Lorelei tote to evoke a sense of summer with canvas and raffia. The latter has motifs resembling the Mosaico craft. The range of colours also includes hues from dove-grey to warm natural leather.

The historical luxury leather goods Maison founded in 1928 in Milan by Stefano Serapian, is a byword for Milanese elegance and an ambassador of Italian craftsmanship.
