Diane Von Furstenberg Goes Tribal by Weaving Leather
Diane Von Furstenberg wowed us with her chain link woven leather handbags a few weeks back (click here to read our review on Diane Von Furstenberg’s chain link woven leather bags), and it looks like she wants to keep on wowing us because her latest tribal inspired collection from the Hayworth line, is another spring hit.
We know tribal prints and patterns are hot this spring, but instead of using printed materials to come up with her collection, she used the weaving technique to create the patterns.
The tribal inspired set consists of a clutch and a tote; both feature contrast woven banding strategically interlaced to create ethnic inspired designs. To keep it modern, she accentuated the bags with metal studs.
Diane Von Furstenberg Hayworth Clutch, US$395
Diane Von Furstenberg Hayworth Tote, US$725
Such a technique (of weaving bands into the bag to create tribal patterns) actually makes the bags look more ethnically authentic. So far, I have not seen another brand do such a treatment so this makes DVF a pioneer once again.
You may shop for these bags via Shopbop.com.
