Marina Raphael's namesake brand has been making waves in the fashion world since its launch in 2018. The brand's philosophy is centered around blending innovation and tradition to create daring and ambitious styles that are built to last. The handbags are handmade in Florence by skilled local artisans who use classic Italian craftsmanship techniques and the finest quality materials.
The brand's commitment to sustainability is reflected in its near-zero waste policy, where strict monitoring and precision ensure that every bag is crafted with absolute care. They also upcycle leftover materials and tan only small amounts of leather to conserve water and energy. Marina Raphael brings a perfect balance of style, sustainability, and quality to their partnership with Swarovski. Together with Swarovski's Creative Director, Giovanna Engelbert, Marina Raphael designed a range of unique handbags that double as personal works of art, which is sure to impress fashion enthusiasts worldwide.

The result of this collaboration is a collection of functional and stylish handbags explicitly designed for busy and modern women. The star of the collection is the Micro Stella Bag, crafted from suede and napa leather and elegantly embellished with a mix of different-sized Swarovski Crystals. The bags are available in a pastel palette of pink and blue, complemented with a pure, dazzling white. The crystals are carefully positioned to capture the light from every angle, making it the perfect accessory to add a touch of glamour to any outfit.
One of the best things about the Micro Stella Bag is that it is multi-functional. It comes with an adjustable napa leather strap that can be tucked inside the bag, transforming it from a clutch to a cross-body bag. This makes it the perfect accessory for any occasion, whether you're going to a fancy dinner or just running errands around town.

They're available online through Swarovski's website and in select stores, so take advantage of this opportunity to add some glamour to your wardrobe!
