Anchored by Art Basel, one of the largest contemporary art fairs in town, ANTEPRIMA is joining this art month by proudly presenting “ART IN THE AIR”, a unique Wireart installation, and a limited-edition Italian Standard Wirebag.
 
ANTEPRIMA’S iconic Standard Wirebag was originated from Milan, Italy in 1998.  Inspired by the flag of Italy, this exceptional Italian Standard Wirebag is in tricolor featuring irregular shades of green, white and red. 

Every Anteprima Wirebag is meticulously hand-knitted with the exclusive and innovative wire material originated from Bologna, Italy and known mostly for its skillfully crafted, artistic yet fun 3D bags.

Named after the British Royal Family’s youngest member, CHARLOTTE is seamlessly hand-crafted without the aid of machines into a rounded, classic basket shape. 
​

CHARLOTTE (FIORI PERLATI)
CHARLOTTE Fiori Perlati, is created by skillfully interweaving wire with sequins and pearly beads, artistically adorned with the embellishment of translucent floral petals. CHARLOTTE Fiori Perlati is about glamour and sweetness.

ANTEPRIMA WIREBAG is relaunching the much-loved Opaco Collection this season together with an exclusive limited edition bi-color Wirebag in Lava Opaco (matt black) and Grezzo Opaco (matte cream) colors. Knitted with one side in matte black and the other in matte cream Opaco wire yarns, the limited edition bi-color tote bag demonstrated the sophistication of the classic and contrast elements of ANTEPRIMA. The different color of the two sides adds spice to a fashionista wardrobe.

“I have specially selected the timeless classics – black and white – for this limited edition item because they demonstrate enduring properties that could last for decades, as in works in photography, fashion, art, interior or even black and white movies!”

“Black and white also represents the contrasting character of ANTEPRIMA – and when presented on this special matte Wirebag, it is dramatic yet understated; modern yet classic – it is evergreen.” Izumi Ogino, Creative Director of ANTEPRIMA says.

Opaco meaning opague or matte in Italian, providing a sophisticated and understated alternative to the attention grabbing high sheen wire, a much beloved wirebag version of the minimalistic fashionista. Flawlessly spun into a matrix of high-tech materials and timeless craftsmanship, each bag represents the perfect balance of confidence, strength and playfulness that characterizes the independent modern women.
