In fact, Bale was inspired by the story of the Loro Piana family. Since the end of the 70s of the 20th century, the brand has been looking for high-quality raw materials from nature to create elegant, classic clothing. Especially in the bitter cold plateau of Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia in China, the brand has found fine cashmere of exceptional quality. To this day, herders in the region continue to supply the brand with this high-quality cashmere. These cashmere are stored in the brand's Roccapietra textile mill in Piedmont, Italy, which has evolved into unparalleled fabrics and garments.
Bale bags are named after their design and texture reminiscent of these precious wool bundles found by the Loro Piana family. Bale is crafted from soft calf leather with exquisite craftsmanship, complemented by a natural smooth grain or wrestling finish, which is as smooth and durable as cashmere; The adjustable shoulder strap wraps around the body and is inspired by the straps that hold the wool straps.
Bale bags feature a seamless finish of the entire body and are adorned with beautiful details, including hand-stitched handles, tonal linings and a detachable interior pocket. Plus, available in both large and mini sizes, in equally colourful colours: from navy, Kummel and warm brown to seasonal hues such as brown, dark cherry and marbled – the result is a versatile bag that easily caters to every occasion and style of dress, while carrying everything from documents to make memories on the go.
Refined and natural, unique and memorable, Bale combines functionality, quality and sustainability – the essence of Loro Piana's laid-back elegance.
From March 2, 2023, Bale handbags will be available in Loro Piana boutiques, Loro Piana WeChat flagship stores and loropiana.cn.
