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.

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.

The bag immediately caught my eye. Quite an enticing piece to look at; very rich in texture and multi-dimensional, the kind that would make you want to run your fingers through its surface.

I found out that this is the Stephanie Hobo from Diane Von Furstenberg’s Spring Collection.

From afar, the bag looks like it is made of a series of small metal chains put together to create a piece of accessory. However, up close it is a whole different story.

What is even more interesting to note is that the material is not metal as you would initially perceive, but metallic leather woven in a chain link manner to create the appearance of such instead.

The technique  is truly fascinating, and if I am not mistaken, relatively new as it is the first I have seen so far. Let’s give Diane Von Furstenberg some credit for coming  up with such an innovative piece. It is like seeing her designing the wrap dress all over again!

The Stephanie Hobo comes in other colors – Metallic Star, Sunset Metallic, and Ocean Metallic:
