It’s our first-ever Loro Piana handbag review. On a rainy day spent cooped up in the office, Interview interns huddled around the brand-new chocolaty calfskin and wicker Ghiera and Cedar bags from the Italian luxury brand to dream of warm weather, popping grapes, and touching grass.
———
LILY KWAK: Here are the new Loro Piana bags. I like the clasp on this one. Easy access.
EMMA STOUT: What are we accessing?
KWAK: They’re like wicker baskets, so fruits galore. Maybe it’s overflowing with grapes, like a baroque painting. Very Dionysian.
STOUT: It’s giving grapes of luxury. It’s a picnic summer.
KWAK: We’re going cherry-picking.
STOUT: I could see Gwyneth Paltrow wearing this on a beach in Saint-Tropez, maybe a martini in hand.
KWAK: It’s straight out of White Lotus. The Ghiera looks like a little chocolate biscuit. Pretty scrumptious.
STOUT: I want to take a bite out of it.
KWAK: This bucket bag is perfect to pack a nice wine to the park.
STOUT: And your pocket-sized puppy.
KWAK: One of those skinny dogs.
STOUT: What are we wearing with this?
KWAK: A nice white linen dress and some brown sandals. Or bare feet, scratchy grass. Who are you taking on your picnic date?
STOUT: Josh O’Connor. He can fit his tennis balls in here if he needs to.
KWAK: Tennis-core is not in, in my opinion.
STOUT: But picnic-core might be. This is for a picnic on a yacht. It’s a reliable bag.
KWAK: Yeah. They need to make more reliable bags for women. I can’t trust anything these days.
