The latest must have!
September 28th, 2008 — Handbags, eco, luxury, news from antonello @ Luxury eco-conscious fashion
The latest must have guilt free handbag comes from Pibiones by Antonello.
“Pibiones pay tribute to the best of Italian eco luxury fabric choices. Trialling authentic Sardinian hand weaving methods in ethically managed factories, the collection of accessories are handcrafted by a handpicked group of leading handbag manufacturers in villages in mainland Italy.
Shedding light on Italian textiles and putting localised Italian handiwork and the importance of its preservation back on the map, Pibiones designer Antonello Tedde prides himself on only working with experts in accessories production and ultimately bringing Sardinian production methods back into the global consciousness.” London Fashion Week, BFC
Estethica - London Fashion Week
January 25th, 2008 — Autumn Winter 2008, Events, news, trends from antonello @ Luxury Handbags Blog - All about exclusive luxury handbags and eco-luxury handbags
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.
Reviewing the past in the New Year
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.
Thank you and Happy New Year from Pibiones by Antonello

Sonya Kashmiri at LFW Estethica - Spring Summer 2008
September 27th, 2007 — Spring Summer 08, eco-fashion, eco-friendly, news from antonello @ Luxury Handbags Blog - All about exclusive luxury handbags and eco-luxury handbags
Sonya Kashmiri was showing her luxury environmentally-friendly collection at The London Fashion Week Estethica Exhibition (Fashion Collections Spring Summer 2007 edition). Since I haven’t been to the show, I did some desk research (googling!). Vegetable tan leathers from Portugal with organic cotton linings are used throughout her collection. Non leather components in Sonya’s handbags are kept to a minimum, recycled leather are also used for structural support. This fantastic eco-handbag is available at the Natural Store with a £250 price tag.

New authentic. Fine materials or complicated workmanship?
September 15th, 2007 — Spring Summer 08, eco-fashion, eco-friendly, luxury handbags, news from antonello @ Luxury Handbags Blog - All about exclusive luxury handbags and eco-luxury handbags
My sustainable luxury handbag world. I re-posted this entry because my blog is changing, it is only natural to concentrate on the eco-friendly luxury handbag market.
Luxury handbags are often made of fine materials with very simple workmanship, it is difficult for the average luxury buyer to perceive the actual value of workmanship. So what the consumer knows about quality? Not often the quality perceived by the manufacturers coincide with that of the consumers. Let’s take hand-woven fabrics for example, any imperfection for me means the fabric is hand-woven and adds value to the fabric. It means that that fabric is a work of art, made with love and passion. For the consumer, on the other end are defects. Luckily this is changing, the new trend “New Authentic” generation is tired of seeing the same sort of fashion, knowing where the item is made helps (at least for me!) to emphasise its luxury status.
Fashion has always been based on skills, craftsmanship and natural resources.
Now disposable fashion (clothing and accessories are worn twice and then thrown away) has made us forget: who, how and the costs of “fast fashion”. Handbag making is become more about the label than the expertise, many companies have seen and increased pressure from investors. No more highest quality but the highest profit.

Luxury houses have been concentrating on new consumers abandoning the traditional customer, now many of the designers are trying to gain them back. Is this a sign of change? Expect the new fashion collections for spring summer 2008 and autumn winter 2007 to have a bit of a retro touch.

Preventing handbag theft.
March 16th, 2007 — handbag theft, luxury, luxury handbags, news, tips from antonello @ Luxury Handbags Blog - All about exclusive luxury handbags and eco-luxury handbags
Handbag theft is increasing everywhere, have you insured your collections? We must protect ourselves against thieves, I was thinking of taking out insurance for my backpack. I still haven’t designed one in Pibiones fabric (I got some special fabric and soon I am going to make one for me!) for now I am wearing a Gucci and Mandarina Duck backpacks in black.
The average luxury handbag is worth at least € 500, purse €145 with some cash, mobile phone, MP3, make up bag and the hassle of car/house keys and card replacement. Not to mention the possibility of identity theft.
If you would like to know more about handbag theft and how to prevent it, here more advice:

You must have a look at this fantastic website from Karin Eriksson. Swedish based designer/maker of functional ceramics and one off interior pieces. Karin’s blog is very interesting: the inspirations and thoughts around crafts and design.
