Dea Rosa SS'12

 Defining the art of travel through culture and style

Summer 2012 is promising to get even better with the premier line of Dea Rosa, “Wanderlista”. Andria Mitsakos, creative director and founder, takes us into her universe of vibrant colors and textiles creating a unique line of exotic skin handbags. The “dolce vita” style seen through Mitsakos eyes gave the line a sophisticated, practical touch, a mix of classic, tradition resulting in a super stylish and glamorous line.

Inspired by Andria’s travels, specifically the Aegean and its magical landscapes, its essence, captured with perfection by Andria.

 

Mitsakos seems to know the needs of someone who travels a lot, her key pieces for travel including a carry-on bag, an oversized envelope, a flat, easy-to-pack beach bag, a simple, zip-top clutch and a petite evening bag. Pieces are featured in ostrich, python, lizard and some in a combination of cotton canvas color-blocked with exotic skin. She also has introduced signature travel essentials such as a python sleep mask, “perfect for long-haul flights,” says Mitsakos. 

 

Being a Wanderlista is not defined by budget, or scope of travel, but by an attitude,” says Mitsakos, “being barefoot beachside in Vietnam is as easy as an evening at La Scala; a Wanderlista knows how to blend into her surroundings, evoking an effortless style that magnetizes the people around her. With this collection, every woman can channel her inner Wanderlista.”

The collection was designed for a modern and practical woman who needs to keep up with style even when the schedule is kind of tight. The colors chosen by Mitsakos , including different nuances of grey, red, blue, amongst others,  are perfect to turn any look into a incredibly chic and effortless look. With the little necessaires  you can keep your bag always organized, the different sizes give you many possibilities of keeping your stuff organized and pretty.

The envelope clutches are definitely going to be a best sell, being practical and so pretty, and the impeccable choice of leather turns the collection into a versatile day-night option for you accessories collection. I felt in love with this line a couple days ago, when I first saw it.. and I felt in love. 

 

This off-white bag (below, second Left-Right)  is perfect, yo practical and chic, perfect for university and work. I am not even commenting the oversized clutches cause they are just perfect... it doesn't really matter with occasion.
