An iconic piece from Furla’s 1990s archives is reimagined. a work that is distinctive in both expression and style. The first Made in Italy bag made of biodegradable leather was created in partnership with Cyclica under the name Unica Furla Earth Limited Edition.

Irina Shayk, the international famous top model and muse of creatives, with a unique style and beauty, interprets this one-of-a-kind design object. The storytelling has been recounted through the lens of photographer Koto Bolofo, which celebrates a contemporary elegance made of colours and craftsmanship.

The bag finds inspiration in historical women in cinema, cult movies, and tv series from the end of the millennium. Unica Furla Earth Limited Edition clears the unnecessary, by honoring what is essential as a diversifying element of that decade, as well as, experimenting with sustainable production processes, and by applying new leather manufacturing techniques.

Thanks to Oleum®, the brand which identifies the biodegradable leather line produced by Cyclica, the Unica Furla bags follow a circular model for their production. The leathers, which are meant to become Oleum® originate from traceable European farms, which are by-products of the food industry and are vegetable tanned with wastewater from oil production, thus avoiding the direct use of aldehydes and glyphosate. The leather results in being metal-free and environmentally non-toxic.

Dyeing from organic derivation originates from components such as corn, spirulina, logwood bark, and fern which are at the core of the preparation process which is free from synthetic agents and heavy metals. Performances that are comparable to those achieved through traditional manufacturing are conferred to the products by natural elements such as beeswax or specific salts used for the finishings.

Furla’s architectural DNA is still present in the Unica Furla Earth Limited Edition, which comes in a maxi or medium-sized crossbody bag with a sculptural profile softened by soft curves and incredibly well-finished details like the metallic turn-lock closure with the stylised arch logo and the Furla macro lettering imprinted on the external bottom. In addition to deep black and pure white, organic colours such as mogano (purple), mais rosa (pink), spirulina (azure), and clorofilla (green) are also available.

The Unica Furla Earth Limited Edition is now available globally on Furla.com and in selected flagship stores.
