Paula Cademartori, a great bag designer

There is a new talent in the world of accessories: Paula Cademartori. In Rome you can find her bags and clutches in two boutiques: Gente and Bagheera. Born and raised in Brasil, She moved to Italy (the country of her father’s family) where  She studied at the prestigious Istituto Marangoni. Afterwards She took a Master at the SDA Bocconi where She learned the management  side of fashion industry. She then worked in the style office of Versace  and, in 2010, started her own collection. Each bag is conceived as a design object. She uses a colourful palette, metal buckles, sophisticated geometries and combined textures.  I love her work.
