TIMELESS STYLE

Timeless, but always in the spirit of the times, some of Il Bisonte’s creations have been manufactured uninterruptedly since the 1970s.

Bags such as Caramella, Maremmana, Vagabonda, Doctor and Sabrina have become true icons of the brand and are a hallmark of its innovative spirit, its desire to experiment and the promise of a functional elegance.

AS YOU WANT THEM

Bags that become shoulder bags or handbags, travel bags that convert into backpacks: the “convertibles” of Il Bisonte – designed in the Seventies and repeated in every seasonal collection – accompany the days of those who use them, docilely and playfully bending to their needs.

COLOUR!

The joyfully vintage spirit of Il Bisonte expresses itself to the fullest in the vibrant colours of our fabrics: in the many hues and lines of the cotton canvas that recall the atmospheres of the Sixties and the deck-chairs of the beaches of Forte dei Marmi; in the camouflage fabrics inspired by the archival drawings of the Seventies; in the Kilim-inspired textiles used since the 1980s as well as in the new poly-cotton, a technical fabric beautiful to look at and to touch.
