Each bag is crafted in Italy with the highest quality leather and hand-shaped on a wooden block to create its unique structure. Finally, three coats of protective paint are applied to the edges of the bag to ensure it lasts and wears beautifully.
The interactive pop-up at LANDMARK showcases all facets of the sculptural Olympia bag, including its aesthetics, inspiration and craftsmanship. The impressive architecture of the space, which has been designed to resemble the arc of the Olympia, consists of sweeping curves lined with statues reminiscent of Ancient Greece but reimagined for modern times. An immersive space situated near the pop-up will house various exhibition rooms to bring the world of Olympia to life.
