One Stylish Fashion Bric’s Postcard from Strasbourg…

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

My dear fashionistas and unusual travel lovers, I hope you are well and ready for a new fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog. You are used to my fashion stories from some unusual trips, but I believe that Strasbourg, a charming French town is familiar to all of you. Since I had some free time, I decided to get to know this unusual city and make some new pictures for my dear fashion lovers.

We start today’s fashion story with a brand of travel accessories that you met a few years ago on my blog and I’m sure you know very well – Bric’s. This famous Italian brand of travel goods makes travel easy with unique and stylish suitcases and fashion accessories. The Bellagio collection allows all hedonists to travel in style with matching travel pieces that captivate with true elegance, while on the other hand, the Life Pelle collection nurtures the beauty of leather pieces that you can travel the world with. I combined these two collections, which for me are flawless perfection!

Some of you followed my Instagram stories from Istanbul in December 2022 and you remember the unpleasant event that I had the same Bric’s backpack stolen and that I returned home with a bag from the supermarket. Honestly, when I think about it, it’s a big compliment for me and that backpack had a special value for me because we traveled the world together, but Bric’s team surprised me with the same new backpack with a touching message: “Your old-new friend for new adventures!”. Believe me, it made me so happy, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Bric’s team for this incredible and lovely sign of attention, which means a lot to me. Let’s all together recall some important details about this exceptional brand.

Bric’s story begins with Mr. Mario Briccola’s dreams of quality luggage and leather goods in 1952 in the Como region. The brand has become internationally known for its handcrafted luggage made from the finest Tuscan leather and cutting-edge, durable nylon. Although Bric’s has now outgrown the original workshop, the love and personal touch for each piece made is still present in each piece today.

Now the second generation of the Briccola family ensures its legacy of quality, style and attention to detail that Mr. Mario Briccola started. Known as the best Italian brand for quality luggage, Bric’s has continued to live up to its reputation. From trolleys to handbags to roomy cosmetic cases, quality craftsmanship is easy to spot.

In addition to the backpack from the Life Pelle collection, in today’s post I have a new item, which is a trolley from Viaggio Come Arte, a special limited Andy Warhol x Bric’s luggage collection. Warhol’s artwork is perfectly combined with the suitcase thanks to the print on the outside and interesting details inside of the trolley. This cabin luggage is made of recycled polycarbonate, a light, flexible, extremely durable material. Most importantly for security, this case features a double sliding zip closure, with a rubberized finish that makes it water resistant with an integrated TSA lock.

Four swivel wheels allow the case to move silently and rotate 360° for guaranteed maneuverability, equipped with ball bearings that create an impressively smooth ride. The wheels are recessed to maximize the carrying capacity of the bag. On the inside, the suitcase is divided into two separate compartments so that every trip is perfectly organized: each compartment also has a zippered pocket. The fabric lining is perfectly matched in shade with the outer material of the case.

To ensure comfort and ease of use, the top handle is padded and the retractable handle is constructed of robust, solid aluminum tubing with intermediate stop positions and an ergonomic handle. Genuine leather details decorate the luggage and thus emphasize the elegance and refinement of this suitcase. The suitcase comes with a leather address tag, where you can write your personal information in case the suitcase is lost. Using only the finest materials such as all-weather micro-suede and plant-tanned leather, Bric’s luggage is built to withstand anything and give you a sense of security and the beauty of travel.

With several flagship stores around the world, Bric’s continues to develop Mario Briccola’s dream and become a world-renowned travel brand. Bric’s is a story about family, hard work, craftsmanship and a company where dreams really do come true.

Today I would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to a new fashion brand on the Mr.M blog. For years, I have been trying to present interesting and quality brands on the Mr.M blog, both luxury and premium brands that are affordable to everyone. I believe that many of you have noticed that today’s society is developing quickly, time just flies and we miss many things in life, because of that sometimes we realize that we are missing some small details in life that make life more beautiful and different. Our new fashion friend from Denmark reminds us of some important little things in life with the hope that it will revive the childhood memories of its customers and remind them of the importance of the wonderful nature.

Forét covers all aspects of contemporary wardrobe, it is in this variety and versatility that the true appeal of this Danish brand can be found. Due to the importance of nature, the forét collection offers a sense of nostalgia and modern functionality that appeals to something in all of us, regardless of whether we live in the city or outdoors.

Every piece they make strives to blur the line between outdoor clothing and casual fashion pieces, while maintaining forét’s signature sense of quietness and simplicity. The Forét collections offer the opportunity to enjoy the rolling hills, take a deep breath of fresh, rural air and escape the speed of change for a moment.

In a world where we are forced to constantly refresh our wardrobe, forét has the bold attitude to offer items that can be worn on different occasions. Forét is characterized by high-quality timelessness from every angle. Organic cotton twill with vibrant touches and refined two-tone constructions for a collection that’s as suited to the wild as it is to the office, all rounded off with a sense of patience and restraint. This brand strives to find the golden mean between contemporary style and functionality through responsibly made clothing for all occasions.

The inspiration for the Forét brand (inspired by the French word for “forest”) grew out of a love of nature. forét—from its very name to its mantra of slowing down—is inextricably linked to the natural world. It follows that this Danish brand aspires to be a key part of the shift towards a more responsible future, a shift that is nothing less than essential in the fashion industry. To do it right, they carefully monitor every aspect of their business, rationalizing and developing each part in a responsible way to successfully provide a wardrobe for our life’s journey.

People who know me know that I wear glasses for my vision while working on the computer, but as the years have gone by, I have come to need glasses for my daily tasks. Since I am a double virgo in my horoscope and am a perfectionist by nature and a lover of unusual details, I have always chosen interesting frames as my eyeglasses.

This time I chose the Panthère de Cartier eyeglass frame in gold. This model of glasses exists in several variations, it also exists in silver color, without “freckles” and with freckles, which I chose because I liked it as an interesting detail. You can find Cartier eyeglass frames and sunnies at my friends MYTHERESA, a shopping platform for women’s and men’s luxury clothing, footwear, luxury goods and fashion accessories.

Everyone who follows the Mr.M blog knows that I am a big fan of quality and interesting shoes, regardless of whether they are sneakers or elegant shoes, I always try to pay maximum attention to fashion details such as footwear.

Each shoe is an icon in its own right, built to last, crafted with style. RUBIROSA is helping to create a new modern dress code.

Created by dreamers, RUBIROSA strives for a perfect world. Because the best products for our planet are products that last. The brand is inspired by Porfirio “Rubi” Rubirosa, a real-life adventurer whose elegance, passion and unconventional character are expressed in every stitch. Rubi loved life, and RUBIROSA is an invitation to live a more refined life filled with elegance. In the following posts, we will get to know this brand more and I will introduce you in detail to their unusual story.

RUBIROSA AVA shoes you have the opportunity to see in today’s fashion story are made in Italy from the highest quality dark brown calf suedes leather and are very comfortable. These shoes have classic “Brogue” and “Adler stitch” details and embossed logo out of the finest Tuscany “Vacchetta” on the heel.

Aida Barni: Iconic Elegance of Cashmere for All Generations…

Fashion Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, I hope you are well and ready for a last fashion adventure this February! Since I unexpectedly received a large number of your messages and emails regarding one of the previous fashion stories with the Moncler iconic leather black jacket, most of you wanted to see how this jacket would go with some stylish classic trousers. You liked how black looked on me and it gave me a little encouragement to create for my new fashion story for you.

Let’s recall some interesting facts about the brand of this exceptional leather jacket that you will see again today on the Mr.M blog. Moncler is one of the most famous French-Italian luxury fashion houses specializing in ready-to-wear clothing, based in Milan. This fashion story begins as a jacket boutique, after which Moncler expanded to design vests, raincoats, windbreakers, knitwear, leather goods, shoes, perfumes and accompanying fashion accessories. The brand’s core symbol includes a rooster, the monogram “M”, a badge with felt appliqués, crossed skis and a cartoon duck mascot.

This famous Italian brand of winter clothing, which became famous for its unusual warm and modern winter jackets, last year celebrated its 70th birthday in a special way – a special anniversary with a unique campaign “Forever Extraordinary” – Extraordinary Forever. In honor of this special jubilee, fashion house Moncler organized special exhibitions and fashion shows where special limited collections were shown that lasted 70 days. On this occasion, the famous Moncler Maya jacket model has been given a new look and has been redesigned in several new ways as a tribute to this legendary model that Moncler has become known for. The jackets were designed by seven world designers such as Thom Brown, Rick Owens, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Giambattista Valli, Francesco Ragazzi and Pharrell Williams.

Fashion house Moncler has achieved worldwide success that continues to this day, and fashion experts believe that this is due to true respect for its own beginnings and improvement of archival models and active participation in the progress of the community through numerous projects.

In today’s post, for the second time, we are meeting with the legendary Moncler Maya jacket made of the finest black leather. The jacket has an extraordinary amount of elegance, although I had the feeling when I saw it in the catalog that it was a sports jacket. My guess is that this model of the legendary sports winter jacket in the leather version is quite different and has a touch of elegance and refinement, which I proved in today’s fashion story.

If you want to stay updated and find out which models of clothing and fashion accessories the French-Italian brand Moncler has in its offer, visit their official online store and follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Today’s post title contains the name of a brand that has become a favorite of Mr.M blog readers over the past few winter seasons, so today we’re meeting again with a timeless brand of exceptional knitwear. Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian cashmere processing. Last winter we enjoyed the beauties of with bright and unusual colors, while this year I decided to stay iconic and elegant with basic and neutral colors.

Soft, light and warm cashmere items are a smart “fashion” investment and practical during the winter. When you give someone a cashmere sweater, it is a gift from the heart, because a cashmere sweater carries a certain symbolism with it. Also, sometimes you need to surprise yourself with something new and refresh your life, maybe it’s a new hairstyle, and maybe it’s a new unusual sweater that will bring a smile to your face!

Aida Barni is a brand that belongs to the Annapurna group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and world manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines Annapurna and Aida Barni. Annapurna is a name that associates everyone with exceptional mountain landscapes, especially the mountain range in the Himalayas where goats live with their winter fleece, hiding the soft, warm “cloak” that made them so famous.

“Made in Italy” is more than a production concept, but this brand has proven to be much more than the just perfect cashmere sweater on a store shelf. It is love at first touch, an impression to remember.

Aida Barni is an imaginative and fascinating name for a fashion line that produces high quality knitwear from the finest cashmere. Aida Barni is a symbol of a lifetime goal for a woman who decided to enter the world of business in the late seventies and reach the very top of this challenging and one of the most difficult sectors of the market. The Aida Barni brand was created as an artistic expression of the way of life and existence, the essence of unstressed chic, refined luxury. A collection for men and women dedicated to everyone who loves timeless and elegant knitwear that encompasses true elegance in the preciousness of materials, shapes and details.

The man who wears Aida Barni knitwear does not follow trends, but creates and adapts them to the needs of everyday life. The men’s collection is made up of cult clothing items of sentimental value, which evoke a healthy and environmentally friendly way of life. Fans of the Aida Barney brand love natural and fine yarns, enjoy comfort, but do not give up the elegance and sophistication of cuts and models.

Aida Barni‘s concept of men’s “sports elegance” is simple and with sophisticated style, but rich in materials and inconspicuous details that make this brand cult because it represents an expression of uniqueness and special class.

You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in well-known multibrand shops and department stores across Europe and the world and through authorized online stores. When you give someone an Aida Barni piece, it is more than respect and pure love because you are giving a piece in which love for tradition and deep respect for art that is not worshiped every day are woven.

PUNTO: Impeccable Sporty Elegance and Relaxed Refinement of Fur…

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

Dear fashionistas, I sincerely hope you are well and ready for a new fashion adventure. Today we continue our fashion story about the most famous Turkish fur and leather brand that you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous fashion stories on the Mr.M blog – PUNTO.

As you know fur is an important part of every winter collection, as you could see in my Mrs. Mom’s fashion stories. Last year, I introduced you to an extremely important FURMARK project that marks a turning point in the world of the fur fashion industry. The International Fur Federation has developed a formal certification and traceability process, Furmark®. Fur is one of the most sustainable natural materials in the world of fashion. The use of organic materials is a complete contrast and rejection of fast and “plastic” fashion, which are typical petroleum derivatives. Fur is the true epitome of slow fashion, treated as an heirloom purchase that can last for generations.

Developed in consultation with conscientious consumers and modern fashion groups and brands, the Furmark® symbol is a sign of guaranteed quality and trust. In order for consumers, retailers and brands to have complete security and confidence when buying fur, Furmark® combines independently verified certification programs within one system. Obtaining a certificate means that the international, national or regional program has met Furmark® global standards.

First, I would like to summarize some of the basic benefits of Furmark certified products:

1. Furmark® is a global certification and traceability system for natural fur that guarantees animal welfare and respect for all environmental standards.

2. Furmark® is simple with recognizable characteristics of quality, safety, and confidence that is of utmost importance to all members of the supply chain and customers.

3. Furmark® programs for animal protection and environmental protection are scientifically based, third-party certified and transparent.

4. Furmark® products are traceable, verified and guaranteed meet all necessary recognized standards.

5. Furmark® is the result of the joint efforts of fur industry members, brand representatives and consumers.

The Furmark® certification system was developed by the International Fur Federation (IFF) with associated members, who are eminent representatives of luxury brands, all of which work with natural fur as part of the supply chain.

There are three key principles on which this certification is based: science, independent inspection and transparency.

Furmark® is a comprehensive global certification and monitoring system for the natural fur production chain that guarantees animal welfare and compliance with all existing environmental standards. The Furmark certification system includes only wild and farmed natural fur from leading animal protection programs (including the first animal welfare program introduced based on data from the European Commission on self-regulation and co-regulatory initiatives). For more additional information on Furmark Global Certification and Natural Fur Chain Tracking System, you can read my special post at the following link.

In today’s post, I will continue my fashion story about the most famous Turkish fur and leather brand PUNTO, which is at the very top of the fashion industry. PUNTO is a well-known Turkish brand founded in 1994 as a manufacturer of clothing and fashion accessories made of leather and fur. Punto is today a leader in its sector both in Turkey and on the world market.

Over the past years, Punto Group has risen to an eminent position in the luxury fashion industry. Through unique collections, this unusual Turkish fashion house always tries to follow all the current world trends, as well as to set new tasks for entering new avant-garde fashion territories. As a global brand, fashion house PUNTO strives to attract the attention of customers with its appreciation for luxury items and unconditional attention to product presentation. In the Punto Group, the main goal is to offer exceptionally high-quality products, top selling locations and authentic prices. One thing is certain, all PUNTO products meet these important and highly valued customer requirements.

PUNTO has a wide selection of products in its rich offer and this has helped this fashion house to build a strong and stable base of loyal clients. The PUNTO management team believes that it is very important to maintain sincere long-term relationships with customers.

The main and priority task of the PUNTO company is true customer satisfaction. One of the main components for maintaining high satisfaction is the special after-sales service. The service offered by fashion house PUNTO after the product purchase is impeccable and their team is always at the service of their customers, because clients should enjoy an endless variety of luxury service. When you buy your first PUNTO product, you are more than a customer because you become part of the big fashion family of the Punto Group. The fashion house PUNTO tries to maintain these valuable relationships, taking care to know who their clients are at all times and constantly informing them about special benefits and promotions. Members of the Punto family are always invited to special and carefully designed events where new collections are presented and some nice news are announced.

Tailoring is the art of custom styling. The passion of the expert PUNTO team for personalization is also the promise to deliver clothes tailored to your individual needs. This promise starts with choosing the best quality natural fur and leather. Specialists of the fashion house Punto, who provide a special tailoring service, are always at your disposal. The freedom to choose your own style in the Punto atelier and stores is the true definition of luxury and exclusive service. For this unique and unusual experience, you need to visit one of the punto shops.

In today’s fashion story, I present to you a jacket made of the finest mink from the latest PUNTO Autumn – Winter 2022/23 collection, soft cappuccino, taupe color, shades between beige and drape, which won my heart at a very first sight. The collar is a classic English high double-sided mink fur, two pockets with a hidden fastener and of course the inevitable zipper closure.

Sustainable fashion is a movement and process of encouraging change in fashion products and the fashion system towards greater ecological integrity and social justice. Sustainable fashion at PUNTO house is about more than addressing fashion textiles or products. It consists of addressing the entire fashion system. This means dealing with interdependent social, cultural, ecological and financial systems. It also means looking at fashion from the perspective of many stakeholders – users and producers, all living species, current and future inhabitants of the earth. Sustainable fashion therefore belongs to and is the responsibility of citizens, public and private sectors. A key example of the need for systems thinking in fashion is that the benefits of product-level initiatives, such as replacing one type of fiber with a less environmentally damaging option, are being drowned out by increasing the volume of fashion products.

Feel a special shopping experience in several stores in Istanbul as well as in Antalya. Punto Group has always been proud to raise customer satisfaction to the highest level through luxury service tailored to each customer. The PUNTO team has a developed awareness of the importance of quality private shopping service. If you wish, there is a possibility of a VIP free transfer from your hotel to the PUNTO factory shop by private luxury cars with the provision of a unique VIP catering service during your stay in the PUNTO shop.

If you want to stay updated and find out what models of outerwear, clothing and accessories made of leather and fur the Turkish brand PUNTO has in its offer, visit their official website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

We are now moving from the Turkish fashion scene to the Italian one, where we are once again meeting again with a brand you know, which you had the opportunity to meet during the past couple of winter seasons on the Mr.M blog. Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian cashmere processing. Last winter we enjoyed the beauties of with bright and unusual colors, while this year I decided to stay iconic and elegant with pastel and neutral colors.

Soft, light and warm cashmere items are a smart “fashion” investment and practical during the winter. When you give someone a cashmere sweater, it is a gift from the heart, because a cashmere sweater carries a certain symbolism with it.

MONCLER: A Brand that was born in the Mountains and lives in the City!

Fashion Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to the Mr.M blog! I hope you are well and ready for new fashion adventures! You all know how much I appreciate the beauty and elegance of the color black, but I rarely wear it because I feel that my brown hair color does not suit me very well. I’m interested in your opinion, so tell me after this post how you think the color black looks on me, do you think it suits me?

Moncler is one of the most famous French-Italian luxury fashion houses specializing in ready-to-wear clothing, based in Milan. This fashion story begins as a jacket boutique, after which Moncler expanded to design vests, raincoats, windbreakers, knitwear, leather goods, shoes, perfumes and accompanying fashion accessories. The brand’s core symbol includes a rooster, the monogram “M”, a badge with felt appliqués, crossed skis and a cartoon duck mascot.

The Moncler brand was founded in 1952 in the Alpine town of Monestier-de-Clermont in France. Interestingly, quilted Moncler jackets were used by cold weather workers, mountaineers and skiers across Europe. Italian entrepreneur Remo Ruffini bought the near-bankrupt company in 2003 and moved it to Milan, relaunching Moncler as a global luxury clothing manufacturer.

Mr. Ruffini used his own capital to keep the brand running great and his faith and dedication led to the fashion house reporting an incredible 2 billion in revenue in 2022. The Moncler fashion house’s collaboration with new designers and the purchase of the Stone Island brand has led to an increased presence in street fashion and opening up new opportunities in the fashion world.

This iconic French-Italian brand of winter clothing, which became famous for its unusual warm and modern winter jackets, last year celebrated its 70th birthday in a special way – a special anniversary with a unique campaign “Forever Extraordinary” – Extraordinary Forever. In honor of this special jubilee, fashion house Moncler organized special exhibitions and fashion shows where special limited collections were shown that lasted 70 days. On this occasion, the famous Moncler Maya jacket model has been given a new look and has been redesigned in several new ways as a tribute to this legendary model that Moncler has become known for. The jackets were designed by seven world designers such as Thom Brown, Rick Owens, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Giambattista Valli, Francesco Ragazzi and Pharrell Williams.

The title of my post today comes from the brand’s slogan “born in the mountains, lives in the city” and it was a true story when the brand was under the creative leadership of Chantal Thomas, when Moncler made a historic transition from the mountains to the city and became an iconic winter brand that produced clothing for the younger generation. The door of luxury to this brand was opened by Mr. Remo Ruffini who started the strategy of globalizing the brand and directed the brand towards the luxury segment of consumers.

Fashion house Moncler has achieved worldwide success that continues to this day, and fashion experts believe that this is due to true respect for its own beginnings and improvement of archival models and active participation in the progress of the community through numerous projects.

What are the famous Moncler collections:

  • Moncler: the main fashion line for men and women
  • Moncler Enfant: children’s clothing collection
  • Moncler Grenoble: a collection of special ski clothing
  • Moncler Gamme Rouge: Moncler haute couture collection designed by Alessandra Facchinetti and then Giambattista Valli. From 2008 to 2018, the collection was presented during Paris Fashion Week. The collaboration and the last collection were concluded with the spring-summer 2018 collection.
  • Moncler Gamme Bleu: men’s collection designed by Thom Browne and presented at Milan Fashion Week. The collaboration and collection were concluded with the spring-summer 2018 launch.
  • Moncler About: Collaboration between Moncler and Off-White with Virgil Abloh (Fall-Winter 2016-17 and Spring-Summer 2017 collections)
  • Moncler C – Collide: Collaboration between Moncler and British designer Craig Green (Autumn-Winter 2017-18 and Spring-Summer 2018 collections).
  • Moncler Genius: Mr. Remo Ruffini conceived the Moncler Genius project in 2018, where designers create collections interpreting Moncler’s identity that are launched on a monthly basis.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see the legendary Moncler Maya jacket made of the finest black leather. The jacket has an extraordinary amount of elegance, although I had the feeling when I saw it in the catalog that it was a sports jacket. My guess is that this model of the legendary sports winter jacket in a leather version is completely different and has a touch of elegance and refinement.

If you want to stay updated and find out which models of clothing and fashion accessories the French-Italian brand Moncler has in its offer, visit their official online store and follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

We continue our fashion journey through Italian fashion and today we are meeting again with one interesting brand on the Mr.M blog – Mauro Ottaviani. How to describe this Italian brand in 3 words? Passion, innovation and coherence. These are associations for the Mauro Ottaviani brand, which aims to provide a concrete answer to the needs of modern men, who are used to dynamic rhythms, yet capable of appreciating the values of quality and design. The search for raw materials became a central element, following the philosophy that high performance is obtained when design and functionality are perfectly balanced.

How did this brand come about? The roots of this fashion house date back to 1978, when Raniero Ottaviani founded what is still the production core of today’s company – passion and love for knitwear. A few years later, in 1993 to be exact, Raniere’s three children – Mauro, Simona and Elena – took over the group, inspired by their father’s work, but looking for a way to develop it in order to take the family legacy even further.

Initially, the group specialized as a high-level service offering quality support to its customers, who are among the most demanding names in Italian and international menswear. The company’s geographical location in the heart of the Umbrian production region guarantees access to superior craftsmanship and the expertise of a great culture and tradition.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see Mauro Ottaviani – CASHLIGHT is a 100% premium ultrafine cashmere that combines the carded appearance of classic cashmere with the light and compact properties due to the twisting of carded cashmere yarns with brushed cashmere yarns. The sweater model you see on me is CL24504 – ROMA POLO made of Cashlight finest cashmere. In the next post, I will write more about this knitwear brand.

Sneakers: Salvatore Ferragamo

Everyone who follows the Mr.M blog knows that I am a big fan of quality and interesting shoes, regardless of whether they are sneakers or elegant shoes, I always try to pay maximum attention to fashion details such as footwear. Today I want to introduce you to an Italian brand whose footwear models I adore and so far you have had the opportunity to see some of their famous models on the Mr.M blog.

Salvatore Ferragamo, rebranded in September 2022 as Ferragamo is a luxury Italian fashion house based in Florence. Specializing in the design and manufacture of footwear and leather goods, the remaining products include ready-to-wear, silk products, fashion accessories and licensed eyewear, watches and perfumes.

The company was founded in 1927 by Salvatore Ferragamo in Florence. The Ferragamo family remained the majority shareholder with approximately 65% of the company. The news is that the British designer Maximilian Davies has been appointed as the creative director of the fashion house Ferragamo from March 2022. There is a rule that only three members of the Ferragamo family can work in the company, to avoid creating a sense of fierce competition.

These Ferragamo sneakers are made of the highest quality genuine python leather in black. These sneakers are from the spring-summer collection, but due to the elegant black shade, I think they can also fit nicely with autumn and winter outfits.

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of this fashion story, where together we have discovered the beauty and splendor of the elegance of the luxury French-Italian brand Moncler, the prestigious Italian brand Loro Piana, the beauty of winter with the luxury Italian knitwear brand Mauro Ottaviani and the famous Italian fashion house that is a symbol of timeless elegance and has become a real classic – Ferragamo, partners with whom fashion stories are a real adventure. I sincerely hope you got some inspiration for your ideal winter outfit!

See you soon and continue our adventures on the Mr.M blog! How did you like my outfit today? I really tried my best to prepare today’s post with lots of love and I hope you like it!

HiSO: Refined World of Luxury Canadian Shearling and Fur Outerwear

Fashion Outfit Post 3 Comments

My dear fashionistas, I hope you are well and ready for a new fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog. With today’s fashion story, we say goodbye to January and holiday euphoria with the hope that the new year 2023 will bring us some new interesting challenges.

Today we are meeting again with an interesting Canadian brand HiSO. A walk by the river can be stylish as you see in a more elegant version with classic trousers. HiSO, formally known as Hide Society, is a brand that is Canadian to the core. With sustainability and fashion development in mind, they have been successfully making luxury jackets and coats from alpaca, wool and shearling for decades. Every step in the creation of clothing, the HiSO brand takes an environmentally conscious approach when creating its products. Originally founded in the fashion district of Toronto, the brand has grown from a small family boutique to an internationally recognized brand.

HiSO is one of the most famous Canadian brands for making winter jackets and coats. Due to extremely harsh climatic conditions, the expert team of this brand is here to overcome all weather conditions and to design and adapt winter clothing pieces that you will love. What is the secret of this brand’s success?

All processes starting from procurement and design to final production, HiSO controls every step of the creative and production process, which makes this brand special. HiSO was formerly known as the Hide Society, which has become synonymous with the art and luxury of jackets and coats since 1975, nearly half a century of tradition. Impressive, isn’t it?

The family company, which is currently successfully managed by the second generation, was founded in Canada. The HiSO company provides superior quality and design in each of its garments, which is woven with 45 years of experience that can be felt in every detail. Headquartered in Toronto, with special offices in Berlin and a production facility in Poland, HiSO quickly became the world’s leading manufacturer of leather and shearling outerwear.

A little more than 20 years ago, inspired by their hard work and building a family business from an early age, twin brothers Karl and Mark took over the leadership of the company with a new mission – to reposition and raise the brand to the world level, thus introducing the new name HiSO (short for Hide Society).

Their goal was to revive the classic vision of coats and jackets where they would combine fashion with the functionality of everyday life. Their vision brought completely new innovative designs while still retaining the luxurious materials leather, fur and fabrics of exceptional quality that this brand is known for.

With the great desire to expand the range of products, the rebranding also led to the expansion into the world of precious fabrics (cashmere, wool and alpacas). HiSO purchased a factory in Toronto where all precious fiber clothing is now produced. Shearling and leather jackets are still produced at HiSO’s European facility in Poland.

Soon after the brand transformation, HiSO became a favorite global name known for its Black Label division targeting new markets. In the fall of 2020, a new inspiration appeared.

Based on the results achieved and built on the success of the HiSO Black Line, the White Label was born! Following the modern market of luxury and prestige, the White Label collection “dazzles” all fashion lovers with its creations who cannot satisfy their appetite for new fashion trends.

HiSO is one of the few brands that actively engages in an ecological approach to sustainable fashion through every step of creating its garments. Whether it’s alpaca, cashmere, wool or leather montons, HiSO works exclusively with environmentally conscious companies, ensuring the best methods and materials used to protect the environment.

HiSO leather and fur are of ethical origin, as they are a by-product of the food industry. Using this product basically returns all those materials that would otherwise be disposed of and thus waste would be created. Shearling leather and fur are natural materials obtained from tanneries that support sustainability according to international standards that regulate animal by-products from their origin to the moment they are produced for final use.

Respecting and maintaining the vision of shared values is maintained by HiSO through cooperation with suppliers who have like-minded views on the importance of sustainability. The benefits of this cooperation include: respect for the right to clean water, energy, energy management and reduced emissions and recycling.

The Tennant shearling coat that you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is made of the highest quality shearling and fur with the addition of silver fox fur on the collar. When you buy your HiSO garment, you can always contact their team who will be at your disposal to help you choose the ideal piece for you or your loved one.

Also, this brand offers tailor-made jackets and coats, so you can get a piece that will fit you. In addition, you can choose the type of material (shearling, leather or fabric) as well as the type of fur and color. HiSO is a brand that strives to fulfill all the needs and wishes of customers in the right way and to be part of the HiSO family with pleasure.

If you want to stay updated and find out what new products HiSO has in offer for us this fashion season, follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

We are moving from the Canadian fashion scene to the Italian one, where we are once again meeting with a brand you know, which you had the opportunity to meet this winter season on the Mr.M blog. The Italian brand we’re hanging out with again today is Marco Pescarolo, a brand from Naples that combines traditional classic Italian tailoring style with modern casual elegance. Naples is known as a colourful, lively, exciting and diverse city, indeed one of the most fascinating cities in Italy. This is where we begin our today’s story about the Marco Pescarolo brand.

Marco Pescarolo is a brand that nurtures the Neapolitan spirit where warm, vivid tones balanced by sophisticated and sharp cuts create a different sense of fashion. The essence of Neapolitan traditional lifestyle and elegance meets contemporary casual style, resulting in a new concept of beauty. Marco Pescarolo is a unique brand that is loyal to its roots and through its brand symbol – Masca Pulcinella this brand wants to pay respect to Neapolitan culture and history, which is the key to the brand’s vision. The symbol of the Marco Pescarolo brand is a mask that belongs to the ancient figure of Pulcinella, a representation of the Neapolitan way of life.

The Marco Pescarolo man is one who successfully combines casual and business wear, as well as formal and informal wear, to exude positive energy and poise in any context, regardless of the circumstances. Marco Pescarolo is a brand that is constantly improving and as a result of one of the many researches is the line System: a new generation of fabrics, in which the exceptional qualities of natural fibers are emphasized and improved with special treatments. Application of high performance membranes, to create technologically developed garments in the perfect balance between style, comfort and functionality for men who know who they are and exactly what they want.

Fashion Postcard from Istanbul: A Stylish Walk on the Turkish Cobbled Streets of Sultanahmet…

Fashion Outfit Post Turkey in my eyes 3 Comments

My dear fashionistas and travelers, today I am taking you again to Istanbul. In today’s fashion story, you will enjoy a stylish walk along the Turkish cobbled streets of the old part of Istanbul – Sultanahmet. This is the last fashion story from Istanbul, next week a shopping guide awaits you, I will try my best to give you the beauty of shopping in this imperial city on two continents.

Sultanahmet Square, once known as the Hippodrome of Constantinople, is today a square in Istanbul, in the immediate vicinity of which are the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Previously, it was a circus that was the sports and social center of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. The word hippodrome comes from the Greek hippos (ippos) – horse and dromos – road. For this reason, it is sometimes called Atmeidanı (“Horse Square”) in Turkish. Horse and chariot racing were popular pastimes in the ancient world, and hippodromes were common features of Greek cities in the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods.

From Taksim Square to Sultanahmet Square, it is very easy to get there with the help of the tram, and in a few stops you will be in the center of the old city.

The Blue Mosque of Istanbul, also known by its official formal name, Sultan Ahmed Mosque, is a historic Ottoman-era imperial mosque located in the center of the old part of the city. A functional mosque, it also attracts a large number of tourists. It was built between 1609 and 1616 during the reign of Ahmed I.

Its Kulije contains Ahmed’s grave, a madrasa and a hospice. Hand-painted blue tiles adorn the interior walls of the mosque, and at night the mosque is bathed in blue as lights frame the mosque’s five main domes, six minarets and eight side domes. It is located next to Hagia Sophia, the main mosque in Istanbul until the construction of the Blue Mosque and another popular tourist spot. In 1985, the Blue Mosque was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List under the name “Historic Areas of Istanbul”.

Hagia Sophia (literal translation ‘Holy Wisdom’), officially the Great Mosque Hagia Sophia is a mosque and the main cultural and historical site in the old part of the city. The cathedral was originally built as a Greek Orthodox church that lasted from 360 AD until the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire in 1453. It served as a mosque until 1935, when it became a museum. Two years ago, in 2020 to be exact, Hagia Sophia became a mosque again.

The current building was built by the Eastern Roman emperor Justinian I as a Christian cathedral in Constantinople for the state church of the Roman Empire between 532 and 537, and was designed by the Greek geometers Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralus. The official name of the church was the Church of the Holy Wisdom. It is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is considered to have “changed the history of architecture”.

The current Justinian building was the third church of the same name to occupy the site, since the previous one was destroyed in the riots in Nicaea. As the episcopal seat of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, it remained the largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, until the Cathedral of Seville was completed in 1520. Beginning with later Byzantine architecture, the Hagia Sophia became the paradigmatic form of the Orthodox Church and its architectural style modeled on Ottoman mosques a thousand years later. It has been described as “occupying a unique position in the Christian world” and as an architectural and cultural icon of Byzantine and Orthodox civilization.

Since we got acquainted with the history of this old part of the Istanbul, it’s time to write a few words about my outfit. Today we are again meeting with the famous Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli.

Roberto Cavalli is a famous Italian luxury fashion company founded by designer Roberto Cavalli in Osmannore, Florence, during the 1970s. This brand has become famous in the fashion world for its colorful animal prints on leather and textiles. Roberto Cavalli produces and sells haute couture – a first runway line consisting of limited runway models, ready-to-wear products that are divided into several fashion lines, as well as fashion accessories, including handbags, glasses, watches, shoes, perfumes and jewelry. The company also develops an interior design program for high-end buildings and hotels.

In celebration of its 40th anniversary in 2010, Roberto Cavalli fashion house presented an exclusive show collection in Paris, which included most of its iconic dresses for which the brand has become recognizable. In recent years, under the leadership of Roberto Cavalli, the new interior design division Roberto Cavalli Home debuted at the 2012 Salone del Mobile.

The shearling leather jacket you have the opportunity to see in today’s fashion story is a rebellious fashion response to current fashion trends. This show piece, masterpiece is crafted from the finest reindeer leather with an arctic fox collar from the latest Autumn/Winter 2022/23 collection.

The Roberto Cavalli Group’s fashion world includes the following brand lines:

There is no person in the world who can hide the joy when feels the smell of new Italian leather. Today we reunite with the Italian family-owned glove workshop Restelli, a place where art, tradition and the beauty of handicrafts meet every day, which is the true definition of Italian style and way of life. Making gloves is not only a job but also a true art. After 100 years, passion, emotions, tradition and knowledge have been passed on to the third generation! Rafaela Restelli has fully embraced the challenges of a new fashion era where the market and way of selling has changed with a deep respect and belief in tradition and love for masterpieces that last!

In today’s post, you had the opportunity to see Restelli gloves made of special peccary leather. These luxurious leather gloves are made of the highest quality leather. The lining of these gloves is made of cashmere. It got a little cold during my visit to Istanbul, so I decided to better protect my hands and walk around in my unusual cognac-colored gloves, which were extremely warm and the right fashion accessory for this unexpected cold in the imperial city on two continents.

Restelli gloves are not valued by money but by tradition and history full of love and patience that have no price.

As a person for whom traveling has become something more than a passionate hobby, I must admit that a backpack is my best friend. I believe you all recognized Bric’s backpack from the Life Pelle collection, which this time came back to Istanbul with me. Bric’s is a prestigious Italian brand of travel goods with which you can feel the ease of traveling with unique and elegant suitcases and fashion accessories. The Life Pelle collection nurtures the beauty of leather pieces that you can travel the world with.

Using only the finest materials such as all-weather micro-suede and plant-tanned leather, Bric’s luggage is built to withstand anything and give you a sense of security and the beauty of travel.

PUNTO: The Ideal Combination of the Timeless Elegance of Fur and Perfect Cut…

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

My dear fashionistas, I hope you are well and ready for a new fashion adventure in this new year 2023! Winter is my favorite period for fashion experimentation, so this season I decided to present you some new brands and interesting fashion pieces that won my heart!

Fur is an integral part of every winter, as you could see in my lady mom’s fashion stories. Last year, I introduced you to an extremely important FURMARK project that marks a turning point in the world of the fur fashion industry. The International Fur Federation has developed a formal certification and traceability process, Furmark®. Fur is one of the most sustainable natural materials in the world of fashion. The use of organic materials is a complete contrast and rejection of fast and “plastic” fashion, which are typical petroleum derivatives. Fur is the true epitome of slow fashion, treated as an heirloom purchase that can last for generations.

Developed in consultation with conscientious consumers and modern fashion groups and brands, the Furmark® symbol is a sign of guaranteed quality and trust. In order for consumers, retailers and brands to have complete security and confidence when buying fur, Furmark® combines independently verified certification programs within one system. Obtaining a certificate means that the international, national or regional program has met Furmark® global standards.

First, I would like to summarize some of the basic benefits of Furmark certified products:

1. Furmark® is a global certification and traceability system for natural fur that guarantees animal welfare and respect for all environmental standards.

2. Furmark® is simple with recognizable characteristics of quality, safety, and confidence that is of utmost importance to all members of the supply chain and customers.

3. Furmark® programs for animal protection and environmental protection are scientifically based, third-party certified and transparent.

4. Furmark® products are traceable, verified and guaranteed meet all necessary recognized standards.

5. Furmark® is the result of the joint efforts of fur industry members, brand representatives and consumers.

The Furmark® certification system was developed by the International Fur Federation (IFF) with associated members, who are eminent representatives of luxury brands, all of which work with natural fur as part of the supply chain.

There are three key principles on which this certification is based: science, independent inspection and transparency.

Furmark® is a comprehensive global certification and monitoring system for the natural fur production chain that guarantees animal welfare and compliance with all existing environmental standards. The Furmark certification system includes only wild and farmed natural fur from leading animal protection programs (including the first animal welfare program introduced based on data from the European Commission on self-regulation and co-regulatory initiatives). For more additional information on Furmark Global Certification and Natural Fur Chain Tracking System, you can read my special post at the following link.

In today’s fashion story, I present to you a jacket made of the finest mink from the latest PUNTO Autumn – Winter 2022/23 collection, soft cappuccino, taupe color, shades between beige and drape, which won my heart at a very first sight. The collar is a classic English high double-sided mink fur, two pockets with a hidden fastener and of course the inevitable zipper closure.

Sustainable fashion is a movement and process of encouraging change in fashion products and the fashion system towards greater ecological integrity and social justice. Sustainable fashion at PUNTO house is about more than addressing fashion textiles or products. It consists of addressing the entire fashion system. This means dealing with interdependent social, cultural, ecological and financial systems. It also means looking at fashion from the perspective of many stakeholders – users and producers, all living species, current and future inhabitants of the earth.

Sustainable fashion therefore belongs to and is the responsibility of citizens, public and private sectors. A key example of the need for systems thinking in fashion is that the benefits of product-level initiatives, such as replacing one type of fiber with a less environmentally damaging option, are being drowned out by increasing the volume of fashion products.

Feel a special shopping experience in several stores in Istanbul as well as in Antalya. Punto Group has always been proud to raise customer satisfaction to the highest level through luxury service tailored to each customer. The PUNTO team has a developed awareness of the importance of quality private shopping service.

Roberto Cavalli: Rebel Spirit on the Shores of the Bosphorus…

Fashion Outfit Post Turkey in my eyes 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to the first post on the Mr.M blog in 2023! Before I start today’s fashion story, I would like to wish you all the best in the new year. Health first of all, but happiness and love are never enough, and we will manage the rest!

Today’s fashion story is dedicated to an unusual Italian brand at the very top of the fashion industry that you have had the opportunity to work with in previous years on the Mr.M blog – Roberto Cavalli.

Roberto Cavalli is a famous Italian luxury fashion company founded by designer Roberto Cavalli in Osmannore, Florence, during the 1970s. This brand has become famous in the fashion world for its colorful animal prints on leather and textiles. Roberto Cavalli produces and sells haute couture – a first line consisting of limited runway models, ready-to-wear products that are divided into several fashion lines, as well as fashion accessories, including handbags, glasses, watches, shoes, perfumes and jewelry. The company also develops an interior design program for high-end buildings and hotels.

Mr. Roberto Cavalli studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. His grandfather was a prominent painter of the Macchiaioli group. His fashion career began in the 1960s. Working in his own silk printing press, he began to apply a new painting technique to fully made garments, which later resulted in garment dyeing techniques. During the 1970s, he continued to experiment with other materials, mainly leather.

Mr. Cavali’s debut collection was held in Paris in 1970, where he proudly displayed his leather patchwork designs, created in collaboration with Mario Valentino. In 1972, he presented his patchwork designs applied to jeans at the first Roberto Cavalli women’s collection show at the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, the main pret-a-porter event in Italy at the time. His work has attracted many global fashion houses, including Hermès, Pierre Cardin, Krizia and Emilio Pucci.

You must be wondering what the Patchwork technique is? Patchwork is a very interesting technique that has been known since ancient times. The oldest found patchwork works date back to the ancient Chinese civilization, and traces of such works were found in the famous Egyptian tombs.

Fans of this technique also call it “painting with rags”, and the word itself is of English origin and is composed of two words, patch-rag, and work-rad. Patchwork is a special technique of creative sewing, where different fabrics are combined with certain patterns and create decorative units. By combining materials of different geometric shapes, textures, colors, patterns and joining them together, you can make things for the home like bedspreads, cushions, rugs, refresh your furniture, make or refresh old fashion pieces and the like.

The basic way of working with patchwork is to cut and join different shapes and wholes. However, what should be emphasized is that with this technique, precision in work is very important. Each piece of patchwork fabric that is cut must be precisely measured and cut so that there are no mistakes and omissions in the further work.

The 1994 collection at Milan Fashion Week staged a new vision of the Cavalli woman: playful tiger and wild animal motifs applied to jeans, printed clothing, embroidered fur and long, sumptuous dresses that elegantly revealed the woman’s body. Animal print has become a recognizable element of the Italian fashion house Cavalli. Later, sandblasted denim came out and the fashion house was the first to show lycra stretch jeans.

New clothing lines were launched on the market: Just Cavalli, Angels & Devils (renamed Roberto Cavalli Junior) and Class Cavalli. The first Roberto Cavalli mono-brand boutique was opened in Venice in 1996. At the end of 2001, the brand was distributed in more than 30 countries, including the United States, Asia and Russia.

The Marcolin Group began to develop and distribute Roberto Cavalli and Just Cavalli sunglasses and optical frames in 2002 alongside the Sector company, the Cavalli fashion house designs 6 Cavalli watch lines, which themselves achieved incredible success and contributed to the development of this fashion house. In addition to the world of fashion, the fashion house opened the Just Cavalli club in Milan in the same year. A few years later, in 2007 to be precise, Roberto Cavalli became the first Italian luxury fashion brand to create a limited collection for the everyday street fashion brand H&M.

In celebration of its 40th anniversary in 2010, Roberto Cavalli fashion house presented an exclusive show collection in Paris, which included most of its iconic dresses for which the brand has become recognizable. In recent years, under the leadership of Roberto Cavalli, the new interior design division Roberto Cavalli Home debuted at the 2012 Salone del Mobile.

The Monton you have the opportunity to see in today’s fashion story is a rebellious fashion response to current fashion trends. This show piece, masterpiece is crafted from the finest reindeer leather with an arctic fox collar from the latest Autumn/Winter 2022/23 collection.

The Roberto Cavalli Group’s fashion world includes the following brand lines:

  • Roberto Cavalli: a historic collection of evening dresses. This is the first line of the brand and the new era has introduced everyday clothing and accessories, including shoes, handbags, leather goods and jewelry.
  • Just Cavalli: brand launched in 1998, this is a more affordable line compared to haute couture lines.
  • Cavalli Class: a line of clothing and fashion accessories for women and men.
  • Roberto Cavalli Junior: the brand’s line for boys and girls.
  • Roberto Cavalli Home: officially presented in 2012 at the Salone del Mobile di Milano, the interior collections were developed in collaboration with Made in Italy partners. Home furnishing line: a line of furniture, wallpaper, tiles, home textiles, lamps and accessories made of Made in Murano glasses.

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Stylish Winter with Nello Santi…

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to the last fashion story on the Mr.M blog in 2022. I must admit that it is a great honor and pleasure for me to have the opportunity to end the year with you and to write you my vision of the fashionable furry winter in style.

In the previous fashion story, we started the discussion about choosing the ideal fur coat model, as well as the type of fur, introducing the new Italian fur brand Nello Santi.

At the very beginning of today’s fashion story, I would like to refer to a very important topic that is of great importance for both sexes – proper skin care. When we are beautiful and young, we honestly have no need to think about additional care of the largest human organ that remembers everything – the skin.

The skin has three layers: epidermis (upper layer), dermis (middle) and subcutaneous fat (lower layer or hypodermis). Proper additional skin care is very important when a person enters the world of adults – the age of thirty and the first signs of aging appear. My mother tried to develop in me an awareness of proper skin maintenance and how to deal with fine wrinkles and skin imperfections in the right way. The first and most important step is to gather information and find a doctor who understands your wants and needs.

My choice is the SKINFLUENCER Anti Aging Center in Belgrade, a place where you will solve your current problems of the skin of the face and body, as well as those related to inexorable aging or the constitution. Besides clinic in Belgrade, you can find SKINFLUENCER anti aging centers in Paris, London and Dubai and experience luxury on your own skin!

SKINFLUENCER got its name from the commonly known word, SKIN, and another word for laser energy known to a narrow circle of experts – FLUENCE. I had the opportunity to feel the benefits of a revolutionary treatment for those who want to stay young without surgery. Morpheus 8 is a treatment with microneedles that introduces powerful energy of radio waves into the skin to rejuvenate the skin of the face, but also shape the figure by melting fat deposits and removing cellulite.

In addition to Morfeus 8, SKINFLUENCER center there are other methods by which you can realize your wishes and solve facial skin problems with 4D Photon laser rejuvenation, electromagnetic stimulation, as well as other rejuvenation methods (anti-aging) – botox, fillers and threads. Doctor Branka Krkljuš, who decided to share her many years of experience with us in the wonderful ambiance of the SKINFLUENCER center in Dedinje, you can feel the benefits of rejuvenation using the world’s anti-aging medicine with regular special promotions, so that a rejuvenated look is available to everyone.

The black cape that you have the opportunity to see in the previous fashion story is a true masterpiece of the Italian fur atelier Nello Santi. The coat in today’s post is also a true work of art from Nello Santi as well.

The story of this brand begins in the chilly autumn of 1943, when the inhabitants of the Italian town of Grosseto were anxiously awaiting the coming winter. It was a winter that swept the whole area with cold winds and white frosts, as it does every year. The capital of the Maremo region was badly affected by the Great War. The population was exhausted and battered by years of conflict and poverty, as well as their sad loss of offspring, misery and hunger.

Alessandro Santi, who grew up in the world of fashion and luxury furs, took over the family company and in a short time became famous throughout Tuscany for his distinctive style and the skill with which he took care of every detail, turning each garment into a unique fashion piece of great value and extraordinary beauty.

The sophisticated and elegant lines of Nello Santi fur have always been inspired by the authentic landscapes of sunny Tuscany. This unusual Italian fur atelier experienced its turning point of success in the 80s, when the determination of the Santi family went one step further and conquered the international markets of luxury goods.

Thanks to the eldest son of Mr. Alessandro – Nello Santi, this brand is synonymous with quality, reliability and timeless elegance. Mr. Nello Santi is aware of the value of what he has inherited. He has a deep understanding of his company, which is why he always makes sure that his customers can come to Grosseto and visit the workshop that his grandfather created many years ago, in the country where he was born, where it all began.

Nello Santi fur collections are enriched with new notes, colors and lines that fit well with contemporary styles, while never neglecting the elegant cut of his original designs. The coat in today’s post is made of the highest quality mink, it is a female because the fur is shiny and light.

Many people wonder what the difference is between mink fur coats that are made from male and female mink fur. Male fur is heavier, but it is stronger and more resistant, so these fur coats are easier to maintain, for example, if you keep the fur coat during the summer at home, it does not require any special care. The fur of the female mink is softer, shinier and significantly lighter, so those fur coats are aesthetically more beautiful and light in themselves, but they require certain care.

Fur coats that are made from female mink fur must be stored during the summer period at furriers who provide the service of storing fur coats in specialized refrigerators, and in this way you will maintain your fur coat and save it from unwanted guests – moths.

The mink cape you can see on me today is a beautiful cognac color with striped trim with an extra detail that I love – fringe. The combination of nature and craftsmanship, which the Santi family offers as a selfless gift to new generations today more than ever, in the face of the rise of mass production and the use of highly polluting synthetic fabrics, represents a practice of “green elegance” that must be protected and passed on.

Fur has a history as ancient as the world itself. It has always been a part of the natural cycles of human life and in addition to being an exclusive and unique product, it is ecologically sustainable at every stage of production and does not cause pollution of the natural environment.
Producing, buying and wearing a fur coat is a gesture of love for tradition and nature and, like any gesture of love, it is capable of bringing beauty and pleasure into our lives.

If you want to know more about Nello Santi fur brand and discover what the Santi family has prepared for the new winter season, visit their official website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

In addition to high-quality fur, I always like to wear pearls, which have always been a timeless fashion classic. My outfit today was enriched by a pearl necklace and earrings from the famous Macedonian brand Ohrid Pearl Filevi 1928. In the previous fashion story, we enjoyed together the elegance of a three-row pearl necklace with filigree and an elegant figure of a lady, while today my neck is adorned with a more modest, but very elegant two-row pearl necklace necklace with filigree and baroque pearl.

The Filevi family is a family that has been producing Ohrid pearls since 1928, which is confirmed by historical facts and numerous institutions. The secret of making Ohrid pearls is still one of the most closely guarded secrets of this family, which combines pearls into creative pearl necklaces and bracelets, and has been passed down from generation to generation for the fourth generation.

When we talk about pearl, we always think of the pearl that is in the shell, but the Ohrid pearl is much more than that and has a more specific way of production. It is extremely important to note that there are only two families in Ohrid who know the secret of making the famous Ohrid pearl.

The Ohrid pearl is not found in the shell, but is made by taking the brightest (inner) part of the shell, processing it well and obtaining the desired shape – a grain of mother-of-pearl. Another process of grain processing is coating the already obtained mother-of-pearl grain with an emulsion obtained from the scales of the Ohrid fish – the scarecrow. Today, several new models of Ohrid pearl necklaces appeared, which accentuated certain events such as weddings, celebrations and visits, girlfriend proposals and many others.

The Filevi family offers a rich collection of unique handmade jewelry. A large selection of different colors of cultured natural pearls allows you to choose the ideal piece of jewelry for your sensibility. Each creation is characterized by an individual approach to conception and design. They are made in different lengths according to the customer’s wishes. Models are for people who want to be different, with a unique fashion style.

Today, my neck is adorned with a filigree pearl necklace, a locket containing a baroque pearl. Probably many of you are wondering what is filigree? Filigree is one of the most beautiful metalworking techniques. This technique has been used throughout the centuries to produce extremely high-quality and valuable jewelry as well as decorative items that we still admire today. In order to make a decorative item or jewelry using this technique, silver, gold, and less often copper wire is used to compose the motif. Threads of wire are bent and interlaced, tied together and thus a complex motif is formed that can be placed on a metal base or completely free. Circles, flowers, and geometric patterns were made from filigree wire. Small metal balls were sometimes placed on objects made in this way.

You can find the rich Filevi 1928 collection of Ohrid pearls and jewelry with classic, marquise and rhodium silver in the center of Belgrade (Serbia), at Knez Mihailova 29, in the passage next to the Progress Gallery.

Also if you are going to the heart of North Macedonia – Ohrid and visiting the capital Skopje, take the opportunity to visit their stores.

The making of Filevi 1928 jewelry is a real art and each handcrafted piece of Filevi jewelry has, above all, a special sentimental value. Passion for jewelry and love for fine craftsmanship is reflected in every single piece of Filevi 1928 jewelry. All you have to do is imagine and wish for an Ohrid pearl, and Filevi 1928 is here to create and realize your wishes and ideas together with you.

If you want to know more about Ohrid Pearl Filevi 1928 brand and discover the world of Ohrid pearls, visit their official online store and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

When choosing shoes, I try to always choose comfortable and elegant shoes. The story of the GRAFFITI brand is based on the top quality and comfort of the shoes they offer, as well as the dedicated work of their team who have been there for many years and participate in the constant improvement of the rich and selected offer of quality Italian footwear.

After almost 30 years of successful business in Serbia, they are still recognizable for their excellent selection of Italian shoes of top quality and elegant design… In their stores in the most attractive locations in Belgrade, in addition to the Graffiti brand, you can also find several renowned brands such as: LAURA BELLARIVA, ROBERTO FESTA, JEANNOT, RAS and others.

I hope you enjoyed my last fashion story in 2022 today. See you in the new year in the same place, with some new interesting story. To all the readers of the Mr.M blog, I wish you a happy New Year and Christmas holidays!

Best regards,

Rose
