Taking the proficiency in leather upholstered furniture, de Sede extends the elegance to its exquisite line of handbags and accessories in India.
Commenting on the launch of de Sede handbags and accessories in India, Monika said, “India today is seen as one of the most promising, emerging markets in the world. It is probably the right time to be in India and be a part of the India growth story. But even more important is to find the right people, who appreciate our quality and design. Therefore, we only enter in a market when we find dedicated people. So we launched our furniture in India few years back and have seen an excellent response and we are very confident that the handbag collection will also be well received and appreciated in India.”
The new de Sede bags are made with the same nuance for detail, partly handcrafted, using the finest leather specially handcrafted for the handbag collection and carries the unique craftsmanship of the manufacture into the world. The 13 models offer everything that a high on style and quality focused individual would expect to add to their wardrobe. The accessories are produced from the same high quality, premium leather and enhanced with the same seaming techniques that have been handed down for generations.
The precise connecting and decorative seams by de Sede are today considered milestones in seaming technique, and are applied by hand on every model. The design is rounded off with a stylish language that has been carefully planned down to the smallest detail.
The gala evening also marked a special announcement by de Sede pertaining to the India market on an exclusive collaboration with couturier Varun Bahl. de Sede’s expertise with fine leather amalgamates with Varun Bahl’s attention to detail embroidery that brings forth a special capsule of handbags.
Commenting on de Sede’s collaboration with Varun Bahl, Monika said, “India is a very important market for us at de Sede. In our bid to show further commitment to this market and take back a part of India through our bag collection to the world, we decided to collaborate with an Indian designer who represents the ethos of Indian art and marries it with the de Sede philosophy and strength in leather. We hope to jointly create iconic products which will be known for generations just like our furniture.”
