The Diane von Furstenberg Marmite Fetish Bag

Diane von Furstenberg debuts a Limited Edition Collection created with New York DJ Harley Viera-Newton on november 1st. Inspired by Viera-Newton’s beloved black cat, Marmite, the collection consists of a Feline Fetish Bag and a Feline Headphone & Play Button perfect for spinning—and gifting. The piece de resistance is the finely beaded fetish bag with its oh-so-distinctive style and sleek feline features defined with hand beaded crystals and pink thread embroidery.

Diane von Furstenberg is comments, “I am so excited to work with Harley. She has effortless style and I think we have created something fun for the holidays. And I love the cat because it is so authentic to Harley and I am always telling young designers to be true to themselves!”

Great collection! I love how Veronica Etro stayed true to the house`s signature paisley-prints and colourfulness but fully seperated it from the folklore-look. I could have never imagined those prints working with sporty, almost futuristic cuts - but they do! Bravo, Veronica!
