Do not forget to be daring, always

The debut of the handbag range and the unveiling of Tropicalia, the new jewellery collection by Isla Fontaine

An interesting new development for Isla Fontaine, the Italian jewellery label that introduces for the first time a capsule collection comprising of seven handbag styles, including a versatile Tote Bag in three different sizes, an elegant Lady Bag, a trendy Bucket Bag, a capacious Shoulder Bag and a day-to-night Envelope.

Inspired by a trip to Brasil, the shapes and details of the Tropicalia collection are direct references to the joie de vivre typical of the South American country and to its flora and fauna, its indigenous tribes and pre-colonial culture, its brights colours and artisanal techniques.

Made of vegetal dye calfskin by skilled Italian craftsmen, the bags have distinctive woven handles and adorable key charms. On the inside, the gold embossed motto “Memento Audere Semper”, i.e. Do Not Forget to Be Always Daring, by Italian poet and writer Gabriele d’Annunzio.

Brazilian inspiration also for the statement jewels and bijoux with softer lines and bigger dimensions, all characterised by a distinctive tropical mood thanks to the choice of materials such as gold, silver, brass, crystal, feathers and distinctive colours and textures.
