Anteprima/Wirebag on Wednesday introduced its Spring/Summer 2016 collections, which range from playful to luxe styles, including the “999” collection of wire bags hand-knitted with a blend of 99.9 percent pure silver and the brand’s signature wire yarn, and featuring 18 karat rose-gold-plated logo rings. The bags range in price from $430 to $907.
On the more playful side are a duo of monkey-shaped backpacks ($425 and $779); a trio of cross-body, wristlet and handle bags in the shapes of barrel and saguaro cactuses; and rectangular bags dotted with fluffy areoles and beaded bristles. Prices range from $276 to $648.
Shoppers who spend $480 or more at the boutique will receive an Anteprima X Hawaiian drip coffee gift while supplies last.
