In Italian, the word Pasticcino means ‘small pastry’; a bite-sized bon-bon that melts decadently in the mouth. The Pasticcino Bag, the latest must-have style from Weekend Max Mara, is just as delectable. With its fluffy volume, oversized clasp and cheerful patterns this bon-bon is a happy pleasure and a delicious treat for the eyes. An instant mood-booster, it sets a playful tone for easy weekends, offduty moments, spirited parties or spontaneous evenings after work. The Pasticcino Bag is a super clutch, with a good attitude. Its proportions are purposefully exaggerated and playfully attenuated, while its shape is vaguely vintage-inspired. The bag is completely unstructured save for its pewter trim and large metal spheres (personalized with the Weekend Max Mara logo and a butterfly, the symbol of the collection) that clip together like giant gumballs. Its oversized balloon shape can be both inflated or collapsed down into a soft void, depending on its contents. Its fluffy softness is irresistible, cuddling up to the body, or snuggling under an arm almost like a prized pet. Though it possesses the air of a giant coin purse, the Pasticcino is infinitely versatile. Offered in two sizes and a range of materials, it easily veers from fancy to fun, from an easy piece to run around with, to a more important, statement-making accessory. The small-sized clutch presents a more traditional option, while a fun oversized version adds a high-spirited kick to any outfit. A detachable thin leather strap can transform the bag from prim clutch to a more practical shoulder bag in a snap. The bag moves from sunny and feminine, to rigorously chic, depending on its material and with what it is worn. An art deco-inspired floral jacquard swirls in three cheerful color ways, making it the perfect accessory to add a jolt of vibrant pattern to an otherwise clean outfit. It is also an easy add-on piece for a layered print look. A wool tartan, in three different mixes of blue, green, bordeaux and camel offers a more graphic option than can play up or down an outfit’s sobriety. Lastly, a mink version creates an ultra rich, but playful fashion statement with either jeans or a cocktail dress. The Pasticcino Bag is a bag with a personality. Any way you take it, anyway you wear it, this is a bag you will love, clutch, and want to eat up. It is a beautiful, joyful, light-hearted object that is delicious in every way. Just like a bon-bon.
