or its Autumn-Winter 22/23 collection, De Marquet revisits the artistic avant-garde of the 20th century and Mediterranean shades in a range of bright and contrasting colours. A creative tribute to the women of yesterday and today, giving a new dimension to the itbag designed by Raffaella Iten, the Night&Day bag with its famous interchangeable covers. By Marine Pasquier
A Mediterranean journey Attentive to the needs of her customers, Raffaella Iten designs bags that are a perfect match for the busy life of the modern woman. Blending style, elegance and practicality, the iconic Night&Day model has a clever design, with interchangeable covers that allow you to give your bag a completely different look with just one “click”. For her latest collection, the founder of De Marquet has adopted bold and luminous chromatic tones, playing on shades of blue, aqua green, turquoise and lapis lazuli. A nod to the Mediterranean, its culture and its infinite beauty.
Art & craft In collaboration with a talented designer, Raffaella Iten takes a fresh look at the upcoming season, where the minimalism of winter gives way to a playful and innovative collection. Night&Day features singular covers, blending surrealism, abstractionism and geometrism. Delving into the classical archives, the designs are sophisticated and contemporary, influenced by the world of high jewellery and Mediterranean décor. Although the brand has 80
always made craftsmanship a priority, this range takes the art of leatherwork to a more complex level. In the Tuscan workshops, the leather is woven and decorated with pearls and other details, such as the crab that sits at the centre of the creation, evoking the coral reef.
A responsible creative process Inspired by the work of Carla Accardi, an Italian painter with a vivid, abstract style, the new models reflect the free, independent and inquisitive spirit of this artist, hailed as the queen of colour. A work that Raffaella Iten learned to identify and interpret thanks to her great-grandmother, a Viennese aristocrat who gave the name to De Marquet. These artistic choices reflect the company’s commitment to sustainability. As always, the base remains the same, only the covers change. An approach that reflects a new mode of consumption, which is dear to the designer: less but better.
