An innovation for the Fall/Winter season 2018-2019 is the brand Mandarina Duck, which offers bags, leather goods, travel accessories and luggage in a unique and distinctive style.

The brand Mandarina Duck comes into being in 1977 and its inventive name is indeed inspired by the mandarin duck, an animal which is particularly loved and appreciated in the orient for its elegance and dynamic: indeed it is a migratory bird, which covers long distances, and thus an element which perfectly fits to the travel accessories offered by this brand.

The will to experiment with forms, materials and colors is the main focus and the secret to success of the brand, which loves to not letting influence the creativity exclusively by the markets demands, but also by the essence of the creative inspiration itself, by the will to risk and to start new projects. The brand’s products thus are inventive and informal, dedicated to travelers and professionals, who love a style whose informality is directly inspired by the inventiveness. What the brand itself calls “formal appeal” is overtaken by accessories able to involve the vision and sense of touch, perfectly fitting to incarnate the evolution of the contemporary culture.

The collections from Mandarina Duck in Fall/Winter 2018-2019 incarnate at their best the company’s mood, with the realization of different collections, which all stand out by their high functionality combined to a simple design with inventive details, perfectly fitting for those who have high expectations on their accessories without leaving the glamorous and inventive aspect behind.

Apropos inventiveness and the will to risk… we can’t help but start our overview of the winter’s news with the Popsicle suitcase, about which we can only tell that the main characteristic is… the color!

To complete the inventive and sophisticated design of the item, there are the elegant borders in black, which donate a pleasant contrast to the transparent polycarbonate of the cover on front and back. The colors of the Popsicle collection’s accessories are cheerful and strong, thus the reference to the collection’s name is obvious: the items in this case not only for the transparent effect which remembers an ice cube, but also for the rounded forms of every model and the colors, which create a strong effect on the inside of the suitcase seem real “popsicles”!

Another strength of this brand is the MD20 collection, whose main characteristic is the realization of the material mitrix, a fabric used by Mandarina since the early beginnings: mitrix indeed is a synthetic material characterized by a high resistance and lightness, perfect for traveling also because it is water-resistant, tear-proof and light, to make every item particularly comfortable. Beside of this detail the characteristic which immediately meets the eye is the shiny texture of the mitrix, able to create pleasant color effects in contrasting shades, depending on the light.

The design of the MD20 collection is linear, the offered products reach from backpacks to duffle bags, of a feminine, male or also unisex taste: perfect for traveling, the bags from Mandarina Duck of the MD20 collection are ideal also for work and free time, thanks to their versatility and the different solutions with pockets, compartments and straps.

To complete the Mellow Leather collection there are the wallets, recognizable by the accurate inner organization and the presence of numerous slots, pockets and compartments where to store banknotes, credit cards and documents of every type.

We’d like to conclude our overview of the Fall/Winter with the Lifestyle collection, which offers bags, suitcases and travel accessories of a technical and best equipped taste: also this collection is made of light and resistant mitrix, but the real particularity is the presence of a high level equipment in terms of functionality and expectations. Pockets, compartments, different closures and especially different portability solutions are fundamental elements, perfect to content the traveler in all his necessities, without renouncing anything.

Every suitcase of the Lifestyle collection is clearly inspired by travel bags, thanks to the soft and versatile structure, inclusive outer belts, expansibility and pockets on the in- and outside.
