Treasures Of Japan
The iconic Weekend Max Mara Pasticcino Bag continues its awe-inspiring World Tour. After honoring Venice's glorious history in textiles and glass making and homaging France’s centuries-old heritage in the art of lace and ceramics, the third stop is Japan, to celebrate the country's rich tradition in textiles and kimonos that goes back centuries.
The Pasticcino Bag Treasures of Japan collection features special edition bags that are crafted with sumptuous silk jacquards culled from the historical archives of Kawashima Selkon Textiles, a Kyoto-based fabric manufacturer established in 1843. With its wealth of certified artisans and a combination of traditional techniques with advanced technology, the company is renowned for its exquisite silks used to create the finest obis, formalwear and luxurious interior fabrics. The bags are available in six variants and two sizes, each crafted in luxurious fabrics that depict unique patterns in delicate pastels, shades of matte gold, rust, and caramel.
Adding a precious touch, the signature boule clasps are handmade by craftsmen of the Bottega Nakamori-Kumihimo, an exclusive partner of “Ando Corporation” which has over 100 years of history in Kyoto. The Bottega's artisans have been handcrafting obijime and haori cords for four generations since its establishment in 1927.
To mark this new stop of the Pasticcino Bag World Tour, Weekend Max Mara has organized an exclusive event in Kyoto, the ancient imperial capital of Japan, a city of unparalleled beauty, steeped in a history that spans over 1,200 years. Top-tier media, influencers and celebrities attended the event, an intimate dinner at the Chishakuin Temple, a vibrant center of Buddhist training, devotion, and community engagement.
