Description
"How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless. " Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky + Tangier in the decadence of the late Seventies, is Corto Moltedo's inspiration for Spring/ Summer 2009. The heady grandeur of the North African quarters which seduced bohemians and academics from across the globe. + The softest, exotic skins from eel and python to ostrich are fashioned into Corto Lego a super-chic day bag, an iridescent kaleidoscope with just a whisper of Corto's signature 'C' and Star branding. + The heavily ruched and malleable bronze python Elisabeth bag is the perfect accompaniment for aperitifs against the oriental splendor of the ancient mountains. + Susan Shock, Corto's perennial and much coveted evening clutch in black eel skin and geometric gold squares is reminiscent of the penchant of the period for all that is art deco. A myriad of opulent-coloured satins forge the Cassette Clutch collection, high-octane glamour, perfect for those who see themselves as the beautiful relics of the night before. + Corto Moltedo is coveted by some of the world’s most celebrated style icons including Madonna, Dita Von Teese, Anjelica Huston, Lindsay Lohan, Jade Jagger, Claudia Schiffer, Sharon Stone, and Paris Hilton amongst others. + Corto Moltedo is stocked in specialty shops around the world including On Pedder (Hong Kong), Browns (London), Parlour X (Australia), Isetan (Tokyo), Etoile (Dubai), Podium (Moscow), Raleigh Boutique (Miami), Dantone and Luisa via Roma (Italy), and Colette (Paris). + www.corto.com
