Sizzling Carretto Siciliano

The intricate patterns are reproduced on accessories too, with classics like the Sicily tote are printed with a representation of the Teatro dei Pupi, while the stunning Dolce Box, the new age minaudieres, are painted with colourful patterns: florals, scrolls and the typical Sicilian Puppet Theatre.

The same care is paid to the footwear, with decorated flat sandals, wedges and unique sandals with a female figurine shaped heel and crystal embroidery.

For the stylish traveller, the collection includes a trolley suitcase as well as shoppers.

The Carretto Collection comprises highly decorative jewellery in golden metal with brightly coloured crystal gems and enamelled charms which represent the decorations on the Carretto as well as other symbols stemming from the Sicilian Folk Tradition.

One final tip to style the collection at its best: channel a late Sixties early Seventies feel with foulards worn as headbands or turbans baring prints of fresh summer citrus fruit.
