Yes it is official and soon….the Pibiones eco-conscious collections will be exhibited at London Fashion Week (autumn winter 2008) – Estethica (eco-friendly fashion) on the 10th till the 13th February - exhibition number ES21, visit the LFW website http://www.londonfashionweek.co.uk/ for more information.
This season the Estethica exhibition (eco-friendly fashion) confirms the diffusion of a new passion for simplicity and fashion with values. The attention will be concentrated on a non-toxic, ethical, transparent product, which signifies the use of highest quality materials. Pibiones new handbag collection 2008 is rich in research on detailing, influenced by couture, by search for well-being and materials that are ever more eco-friendly and sophisticated.
The theme is inspired by Sardinian villages (from which each bag takes the name), the lights, the colours that reflect daily life and yet at the some time very much the mood of modern metropolitan city. The black and white, the cream, blue and green with emphasis on discretion with particular attention to linear styles inspired by architecture.

January 15th, 2008 — Autumn Winter 2008, Spring Summer 08, news, tips from antonello @ Luxury Handbags Blog - All about exclusive luxury handbags and eco-luxury handbags
Please accept my late wishes for a very Happy and Prosperous 2008.
I would like to start the New Year with a textile that I recently discovered in an old wooden chest at my parents’ home in Sardinia. It has been in the family from 1814: my great, great grandmother drew the designs and prepared dyes from local plants. She dyed the wool from my granddad sheep for her own work. She created a bedspread that remained in the family for few generations.
It’s the time to review the past and look forward to achieving more in the coming years. I will continue to work hard in the coming years to avoid the disappearance of the Sardinian hand-woven fabrics. For a designer from a small and distant village in Sardinia, my first objective has always been to preserve as well as advance craft skills that are at risk of disappearing due to globalisation & mass-produced designs. Serving as an ambassador for Sardinian crafts it is an honour and a privilege. I want to thank the numerous supporters of the press and on-line fashion review sites. I also want to express my greatest appreciation to the numerous fans, friends, and family who have encouraged me in this task.

October 10th, 2007 — Autumn Winter 2008, Spring Summer 08, eco-fashion, eco-friendly, trends from antonello @ Luxury Handbags Blog - All about exclusive luxury handbags and eco-luxury handbags
The new Pibiones Spring Summer 2008 colour moodboard is the perfect way to start talking about the AW 08-09 fashion handbag new trends.
The handbag prediction for Autumn Winter fashion 2008 are clear, the next seasons are going to be focused on environmental friendly materials and natural materials. Fluffy wools are going to be the next new big thing on the handbags. The shapes are going to be simple and sophisticated with a little gothic influence.
This new idea for the next Winter season is to try out materials in place of leather. Searching for and experimenting with new materials has become the key issue in the accessories industry as well as many others, partly driven by the increasing trend towards “eco-friendly” and “ethical” products.
In the next years more designer in search of inspiration are going to take in account ecological problems, safeguarding the dignity of workers and fighting the exploitation of the very young. This new trend, and I hope is not only a fashion phase, will also rise production costs and creates competitive disadvantages. Waiting for this predictions to become reality in the next few seasons, we have to pay more attention to that segment of consumers who are aware of this problems and are willing to spend a little extra for their sustainable products.
More wide-range informational campaigns should be aimed at the “fast fashion” consumers, certainly the fast-buying comes with an appealing price tag but low prices are made possible by exploitation of labour and natural resources. The top 10 tips for greening your wardrobe from the
