Ally Capellino continue to experiment with materials in their quest for luxurious luggage, creating this nylon and leather capsule collection for Spring/Summer 2013.

Consisting of three different models, the collection boasts a nice weekend hodal, a tote and the now iconic figure of the Ally Capellino rucksack. The vegetable tanned leather juxtaposes the heavyweight nylon, with a nature vs. manmade feel that works well together and is played on nicely with the use of contrast colours in the navy/tan selection. The olive/black trio is a more subtle number, hinting towards military themes with it’s deep green nylon outer.

For any lover of bags and/or British manufacturing and design, an Ally Capellino is quite simply a no-brainer. These new nylon pieces make for a welcome addition to what is an impressive selection for a brand still relatively young.

Expect to see these in all good Ally Capellino stores, their own flagship in Shoreditch, and the Ally Capellino webstore at the end of February.
