Different races of cat are portrayed on the clutch bag, the shopping bag, straps and on the pendant of key chains: there is the face of the Persian, that of Siamese etc., all wide-eyed. For the person who wishes to delve into the field of aesthetic criticism to pigeonhole the collection is a must as part of the kitsch, and yet, thanks to the refined design, the temptation to welcome this collection, even for the purists, will be strong. One thing is certain, however, that cat lovers, often ardent collectors of kitsch things in the form of a cat will not pull back. Showing off a bag of the series “Mici & Amici” is not just a stylistic choice, but one of intent: a way of publicly declaring membership to the refined sect of cat lovers.
The collection of bags and accessories “Mici & Amici (Cats and Friends)”, in pvc printed with blowups of cat faces, is dedicated to cat lovers. Among the latter is a large group of writers, in the front row Doris Lessing, author of the short novel “Very special cats”, Colette who has devoted her book “Cat” to the she-cat Saha and Stephane Mallarmé, author of “About the Cat, defined as idol of the apartment, with him often depicted at the table working with a cat lying on the sheets of paper. To satisfy cat lovers, cat faces are not all alike.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
