Making of the Pasticcino Bag Treasures of Japan

For Fall Winter 2024, the iconic Weekend Max Mara Pasticcino Bag continues its awe-inspiring world tour in Japan. The result is a special-edition collection in which the country’s centuries-old tradition in the art of textiles and kimonos is celebrated – discover the craftsmanship and artisans behind these exquisite bags.

Handcrafted Interweaving

The signature Pasticcino Boule clasps have been reimagined by a craftsman of the Bottega Nakamori-Kumihimo, which has been handcrafting obijime and haori cords for four generations since its establishment in 1927. Each clasp is meticulously made with precious threads swathed around the ball in contrasting hues to create an eye-catching graphic effect.

Silk Delicacy

Each bag is dressed in sumptuous silk jacquards culled from the historical archives of Kawashima Selkon Textiles, a Kyoto-based fabric manufacturer. With its wealth of certified artisans and combination of traditional techniques with advanced technology, the brand is renowned for its exquisite silks used to create the finest obis, formalwear and luxurious interior fabrics since its beginnings in 1843.

The bags are available in six variants and two sizes, each crafted in luxurious fabrics that depict unique patterns in delicate pastels, shades of matte gold, rust, and caramel. And each design has a story to tell: a pale pink floral pattern symbolizes fertility and life; flowers and birds form stunning arabesques; a revisitation of a 1905 motif has imperial inspirations; a bouquet of peonies, roses, and buttercups is at once delicate and ornate.The painterly nuances of the linings also evoke the interiors of kimonos.
