Handbags 3D: A Modern, Chic, and Sustainable Design

Mariela Calvé's Innovative Approach to Handbag Design

Mariela Calvé, a renowned designer, has created a collection of handbags that combines geometric shapes with organic forms of nature, resulting in a unique and visually striking design. With a focus on sustainability and practicality, these handbags are not only fashionable but also environmentally-friendly.

The spirit of Mariela Calvé's brand is defined by a modern, feminine, and cosmopolitan style. Each handbag is meticulously crafted with special care given to the finishes and details. The combination of organic and architectural forms, along with vibrant colors and fine materials, creates a distinct and unique imprint.

One of the standout features of these handbags is their collapsible and reversible design, making them practical for everyday use. The material used is 100% organic leather, developed exclusively for Calvé, with natural processes that do not harm the environment. The brand's commitment to sustainability extends to the production process, which utilizes mechanical cutting, laser cuts, and both machine and hand stitching.

Measuring 28 x 28 cm, these handbags are the perfect size for a portfolio. The handles, measuring 42 cm, can be unzipped to connect the interior and exterior parts of the bag. Some models can even be folded to occupy less space, making them ideal for travel. The interior is lined with black neoprene, providing durability and a sleek finish.

Mariela Calvé's design team, including Mariela Omar as the main designer, Catalina Albertini as an assistant, and Andrea Napolitano in production, has overcome various challenges to bring this innovative design to life. One of the initial obstacles was the lack of skilled labor, which led to the exploration of cost-effective cutting techniques such as the use of laser and cutting dies. Over time, the brand has established itself as a leading name in the design market, expanding its business horizon and even exporting its products.

This exceptional design has not gone unnoticed. In 2014, Handbags 3D was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Fashion, Apparel, and Garment Design category. This prestigious accolade recognizes designs that exhibit outstanding creativity, resourcefulness, and technical skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

Mariela Calvé's handbags are not just accessories; they are a statement of style, sustainability, and innovation. With their unique blend of organic and architectural forms, vibrant colors, and fine materials, these handbags are a testament to the brand's commitment to creating a new style that promotes both fashion and environmental consciousness.
