Still from last month trip to Florence with IL BISONTE for their IL BISONTE KM30, and here goes my point of view from the two days experiece.
On the first day I arrived, I got picked up and then we went straight to the hotel so I could refresh and finally get ready for lunch; followed by visiting IL BISONTE booth at Pitti Uomo, one of the world's most important platforms especially for men's clothing and also accessory collections. Well, it's basically a Men's fashion fair.
There, IL BISONTE showcased their latest Fall Winter 2018 Collection for us to discover and dang! gotta love the collection. It's all about the hobo and gypsy lifestyle; fur, fringe, braid, big stitches, you name it. Don't even get me started on the color palette, too tempting isn't it? Good news is, the collection will be available in Indonesia soon.
At IL BISONTE, you can also customize your belt :)
And here goes my favorite doctor bag!
On the next day, we had a quite packed schedule thus having my morning coffee is really important. Not forgetting a few shots with this maremmana bag because the cafe is too cute.
A quick stop at the iconic Piazzale Michelangelo for some touristy pictures before we moved forward to IL BISONTE Factory in Pontassieve.
It was around 11 AM if I'm not wrong when we arrived at the factory for a tour in order to learn more about IL BISONTE. It's really an interesting experience where we can see the process of how a bag is made. From the sketch, pattern making, to the leather check (the leather quality is no joke). Also seeing how they control the quality of their products and how they appreciate the hard work of each other at the factory; everything is just mind-blowing.
Right after the Factory visit, we went back to Florence and straight to the store, and I'm so happy that I got a chance to have quick chat with the founder of IL BISONTE, the one and only Wanny di Filippo. He's super nice and lovely, and how adorable his style is!
And finally, the last event of the day, The IL BISONTE KM30 Cocktail Party. Here, we were discovering about the KM30 stories and the Tuscan adventure. You can also read about it HERE.
KM30 is actually telling us that all IL BISONTE products are created and produced within the 30KM radius of Tuscan villages near Florence, form the leather to its brass accessories.
Another favorite, the mini doctor bag!
Last but not least, I would like to thank IL BISONTE Indonesia (esp Yohana) once again for bringing me to Florence and for this wonderful experience. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
