This spring/summer, Italian luxury fashion house Loro Piana is giving you a reason to pull up your socks, fix your flyaways and get that holiday out of the group chat. Got a meeting at eight, a flight at two and a dinner at six? Me, neither. But the Extra Softy Bag is no pushover, and awaits, confidently qualified for the job, with your boarding pass printed, Uber booked and a generous glass of champagne at the ready. Assuring its distinguished, well-kept mother – The Extra Bag – to relax a little and go with the flow, this new spin on the previous silhouette is a gentle reminder that softness isn’t a sign of weakness but instead, of strength.
Sculpted from buttery smooth fine-grain calf leather, with alternative options rendered to include woven details, the bag’s clean modern lines and elongated shape make the design mouldable to your personal rhythm. Sling it over your shoulder, across your body or clutch it in your hand – an adjustable strap allows the Softy Bag to support you from all angles. Think briefcase meets purse meets carry-on. No unnecessary bells and whistles, just a good ‘ol bit of arm candy.
Available in two sizes and four yummy colourways – fossil, ancient sandstone, baby cashmere and dark chocolate liquorice – it sadly isn’t edible, but life’s short, so go on and have some chocolate – Loro Piana style. A generous, horizontal zip enables smooth accessibility and bag doesn’t shy from a bit of tasteful accessorising. The minimal but punchy 3D padlock brings a golden warmth to its final form, while gracefully announcing the design’s acute balance of both integrity and suppleness. Go ahead and recline your seat, this function-forward companion is in it for the long haul with you. Get yours here.
