Pierre Hardy | men bag are coming

PIERRE HARDY is pleased to announce the launching of the men’s bag collection for winter 08/09. In parallel to the women’s collection, the bags avoid heavy hardware, accessories and logos: only the pipping enhances the structure. They combine soft shapes with graphic design elements. The inside is entirely finished in leather and simply a card holder subtly bears the designer’s name. 2 styles: a “city” bag and a “sport” bag

3 combinations of colors: calf leather black calf leather havana / brown calf leather off white.

Pierre Hardy x Kitsuné | FW08 collection

available at Colette (300 Euros w/ VAT)

Originally one of his favourite design- "Avery". Kitsuné and Pierre Hardy, two French units that represent the Paris today have been collaborating for two seasons, looks like the co-op is going to become a ritual now. After navy and off-white leather, Hardy offered brown suede for F/W08. It looks pretty neat and classic, modern classic to be exact. Fans of his and Kitsuné's should have no problem in liking it. Judging by his strong business trend at sneaker category which has taken from Dior Homme; and sharing with Lanvin Homme these days, he has become one of the most successful and sought after French shoe designer. Friends are buying his sneakers and booties on a season basis. Some worry about the over-exposeure might cool down his coolness, but I think Hardy's creations can surpass that.
