Limited Edition Isklar Tote By Giles Deacon
This winter sees Giles Deacon, the most innovative and dynamic name in British fashion, present the Isklar Tote - a new twist on everyday affordable luxury that is inspired by the pristine world of Isklar Norwegian Glacial Natural Mineral Water.
Giles’s signature silk jacquard has been infused with the magical spirit of Isklar’s Norwegian roots, to form the sleek silhouette of the tote. Isklar, meaning ‘ice-clear’ in Norwegian, originates from the remote Hardanger region of Norway, a pristine wilderness of snow-capped mountains and cascading waterfalls, that is reflected in the swirling azure blues and sparkling silvers of the jacquard fabric. The bag is lined with silky smooth fabric and neatly incorporates a pocket on the outside, so that a 500ml Isklar bottle is always at hand to hydrate throughout the day, whether shopping, travelling or socialising.
Giles’s work is renowned for a superior craftsmanship that is coupled with a distinct sense of whimsical fun and in the new collaboration this unique spirit compliments perfectly the ideals of the Isklar brand: “The best thing about fashion is the fun that you have playing and experimenting with things. I am always on the look out for new, interesting brands with which you can get creative and have a bit of fun. With Isklar I felt there was a real story to be told - one with strong visual qualities that transferred seamlessly into fashion design, but also one that felt a little special and a little magical.”
The Isklar Tote is as rare as it is special, as only 100 of the bags are ever to be made, so fashionistas will need to be quick off the mark if they don’t want to miss out on what is certain to become the most coveted handbag of the winter season. The totes will be available to buy from www.gilesdeaconisklar.com from November, with 50% of proceeds going to Oxfam, a charity chosen by Isklar and Giles.
