A bag with a world
Can you imagine a woman without a bag? Not really. Every woman in the world has her small world in her bag, where everything is organized by her rules. Moreover, a bag is a statement of a woman status, her inner expression and attitude, it is part of her inner self.
Laura De Barbieri the designer of LoLaDB bags is not creating faceless just a bag pieces, she creates a whole concept, connecting design with heritage. She puts her soul in every piece of every bag she creates, carefully choosing materials and coordinating the whole manufacture process.
We met the heart and soul of the brand LoLaDB at Laura's showroom in Prague for an exclusive interview where we were warm welcomed and had a personal tour around. Smell of leather, mix of antique and modern design pieces of furniture create a specific atmosphere of elegance and style.

Q: How long are you in Prague?
A:Too long maybe (she smiles),ray ban pas cher. I was born in Milan. When I was very little we moved to France and later to Germany. Every time when I'm crossing this bridge I have a very strong feeling of beauty that is embracing you! I love the river as well. Every time when I needed inspiration in Prague I was going to look at the water. This river is very maternal to me till today.
I found work very soon for Lobkowicz. I loved it, had to physically move the items, while at the same time research the content. I always love it, when I can combine this kind of things.
Q: So now Czech language helps you a lot, for example to communicate with customers?
A: I don know. I just feel better. I wanted to learn Czech even if I spoke already English, Italian, German and French. For me it is respect for the country and the people. Because you live in a country which is not yours; I actually don't know which is mine. When for example I am going to Italy people are asking me: "Oh you are going home?" I reply: "Home? No, I live here." This is my home,polo ralph lauren, where I have my things, where I have my work." So, yeah,michael kors purses, I really wanted to speak Czech and I put an effort to do this.
Q: So you can say you have got lucky?
A: In fact, yes. I ended up taking care of this historical library of the Lobcowicz family with 36 000 volumes. A big challenge since I had a relative small budget for it and just one assistant. It gave me the opportunity to become an expert in Renaissance books and work together with various universities, like Charles University. I ended up lecturing as well.
A: Let me tell you a story (smiling).
Maybe one day you too will be sitting alone on this city bench so close to the maternal river in late September, with no more tears, planning your escape. To escape,chi flat iron, to fly away from fear. People will come and go, not paying attention to you. The knight on the severe Gothic monument will not be able to provide help. You have to fall down, if you want to bounce back.
Your bag, open on this bench, will contain the main part of your world: your ID, your phone,soccer jerseys, and a bunch of papers filled with all your recent annotations,mulberry uk, folded and refolded to save space. A bag with a world which is not supposed to exist but has to exist in order to save you.
Q: Did you start to design bags because it was your inspiration or you were thinking about the future business?
A: No,oakleys, I don think much about the business. I was designing already when I was very young. That's it
Q: Do you already have a boutique or you just have a showroom in Czech Republic? Store?
A: Not now. So far I am selling in private events and directly out of my showroom; I like this personal touch. I made my website and added a few private representatives in Switzerland, Italy and France. Than an Italian e shop added my collection and now the collection will be available in SPRMRKT, an avant garde concept store in Amsterdam. That is a big step forward for me!
We don't have store in Prague yet, but would love to. Here I am filling a gap, because you have the big brands which are very well known, but it is always the same name,ralph lauren, or you have the 'cheap' copies that you will also find everywhere. A woman who wants to be elegant, who can afford something and wants to create her personal style has not a lot of choice here. This is something I would like the Czech women to learn: to be more self confident, to be more personal, to go ahead and follow her good instinct. Be yourself. Mix things. Don't be afraid to mix. My bags are designed for that kind women (smiling).
Q: How do you choose the leather and other materials you work with?
A: I choose my materials according to softness, resistance originality and beauty. My leather is a high quality one, coming from Tuscany. I am choosing very carefully, sourcing those materials and techniques that fit the concept of the my design best. For example, I am very proud to use one fabric made by hand on a historical wooden weaving loom. This fabric was used for folklore. I made it mine,newbalance, combining it in a way never used before.
Q: All your bags you do yourself or someone is helping you?
A: I design, than I create a prototype of fabric, paper, etc. Together with the factory we are making a prototype from leatherStep by step we go to the final version. We continue to work with prototypes until I am completely satisfied. I like to keep in mind one question: "Can we go to Milan with this? To Berlin? London?"
Q: Do you see what bag suits for particular person?
A: Bags from LoLaDB are not like most other bags from different brands where it is "you and the bag". LoLaDB is "you with the bag", your personality forms the bag. Every bag has a name. For example,ray ban sunglasses outlet, she wolf collection. She wolf is a fighter, a very good mother, she follows instincts. Every bag has a different sensation. You want to touch it, feel it.
