Tommy Hilfiger Fall/Winter 2014 Accessories collection

07 October 2014 - The Tommy Hilfiger Fall/Winter 2014 Accessories collection, The New England, embarks on a coast to coast voyage from the United States to the United Kingdom. The collection celebrates Tommy Hilfiger’s signature all-American aesthetic mixed with hints of quintessential English charm. Classic Brit statements - heritage prints, sartorial sophistication and Savile Row tailoring - are given a heavy dose of Americana spirit, fusing UK tradition with east coast prep for a result that embraces The “New” England in every sense.

The journey begins in Boston, where women’s accessories are functional and minimalistic with a feminine twist, featuring signature color-blocked tones of chestnut, espresso, clover and garnet. Distinctive hardware with updated branding includes pulls, metal bars, tassels, flip locks and rivets; totes and satchels in supple, premium Italian leather are combined with suede gussets. In men’s accessories, elevated leather concepts are structured and functional, while pebbled leather is given a sporty twist in duffle and reporter bags. For city living, the must-have look is a fashionable yet practical waxed canvas style, available in a large duffle - complete with a zip-up running shoe compartment - messenger, tote or backpack in seasonal tones of dark spruce and cabernet.

Additionally for Fall/Winter 2014, a bespoke selection of limited-edition windowpane checks and plaids have been developed in collaboration with Moon, the historic British wool mill. These signature prints appear on totes, satchels, crossbody and city bags.

The next stop on the tour is Middlebury, where tech meets tradition and styles are inspired by the great outdoors. In women’s accessories, the look is clean, elegant and functional. Day bags with contrasting color combinations and leather trims maximize versatility with convenient double zipper compartments. A neutral color palette of coffee bean, olive night, pepper and black is offset by a pop of mazarine blue for an unexpected twist. In men’s accessories, waxed nylon and leather trims add a casual touch to messenger, duffle and computer bags. Functionality is incorporated into all styles with padded pockets for tablets, computers and phones.
