Lightweight performance and practicality.
As Lamborghini begins to unveil its future models to replace the Murciélago and Gallardo one of the main technologies they are developing and incorporating is carbon fiber. The use of this strong material enables new models to be made lighter, thus resulting in better performance and economy. But, carbon fiber has never been used in the fashion industry, until now.
The new Lamborghini bag line uses carbon fiber as a design element. The unisex collection features a Travel, Messenger, and Envelope bag, each being designed for maximum functionality. The Lamborghini bags are handmade by craftsman with hand-stitched leather, cotton lining, palladium–finished brass accessories, and diagonal graphite carbon fiber.
The Travel Bag in the Lamborghini Fashion line measures 20 x 9 x 11 inches and is a trunk-style carrier complete with two handles. Its design makes it a great carry-on bag for air travel. Luggage can be stored in the spacious internal pocket.
The Messenger Lamborghini Bag is the perfect laptop carrier, featuring three separate compartments for a computer and accessories, as well as a zip-up pocket. An adjustable black strap contrasts the graphite colored carbon fiber. The medium-sized bag measures 15 x 4 x 12 inches.
Built to carry notebooks, the new Envelope-style Lamborghini bag is the lightest and built for performance. It has an open back pocket designed for easy access or a protected zip-up pocket. The small bag is the ideal companion, offering smaller pockets for a wallet, cell phone, or pens.
“The objects around us change, just as the way we carry them changes. This line of bags explores an absolutely unprecedented use of carbon fiber, taking the thrust of technological innovation that characterizes our supercars, to the world of fashion, said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “These are exclusive objects for those who are not content with practicality, but instead seek a way to stand out from the crowd and stamp their own personality on an accessory.”
The entire Lamborghini Bag line will be available at Lamborghini boutique stores and the 120 dealerships around the world. Customers can also order the fashion line from the Lamborghini website.
