Marvles

MarVles is a happy Milanese encounter with Valextra and Budri: a multidisciplinary project, resulting in a unique blend of craftsmanship and technology.
Patricia Urquiola reinterprets Valextra iconic Iside through a series of 19 limited edition bags.
The project comprises three collections, each featuring a distinctive leather intarsia design, a new marble handle and a marble clasp. The Fuse, with organic curves that suggest rock formation; the Bow, characterized by a play of geometries through intersecting arches; and the Edge, an extreme angular motif that is part futurist, part art-deco. The whole collection was deeply inspired by agate, and its natural layers were reproduced in marble.
A timeless colour palette of leathers dominates the collection: organic shades that reference the natural marble hues, plus a series of pop colours from Valextra’s archives.
