A “slack” look for your summer attire. The theme of FELIGI's new collection is "MARE," which means the sea.

It's a little late to ask, but what is “slackness” in fashion?

Textbook-wise, it's "an impression or style that is natural and spare without excessive effort," but it's still vague, isn't it? I don't know if I understand it or not.... Thinking about it this way, the new collection from "Felisi" has a pretty good answer.

It is neither too rough nor too formal. The reason why it looks relaxed in a good sense is because it has a solid core in its original construction and appearance. Ferreriji, born in Ferrara, Italy in 1973, is an artisanal brand of bags and small leather goods that still adheres to the Made in Italy concept. The brand's bags, which skillfully combine nylon and leather, are known as a symbol of the brand.

The theme for the spring/summer 2026 collection of this authentic brand is "MARE," the sea that Italians love. From the brand's two representative collections, "URBANO" and "STORICO," items with a relaxed mood inspired by the vast ocean and resort scenes will be released on May 15 (Fri.).

URBANO

The first collection is from "Urbano," based on Ferrezi's iconic nylon and leather combination. This season, the collection is attractive for its lightness and spring/summer-like finish.

The nylon fabric with a silky sheen and vivid colors is crossed with Tuscan bucket leather tanned by traditional methods, a typical FERRISI material. The densely kneaded nylon is supple, elastic, resistant to friction, and wrinkle-resistant. The leather, on the other hand, has a robust texture with firmness and resilience, and as it is used more and more, the more it ages, the deeper the color changes.

In addition, this season, the bag is lined with a striped cotton canvas. When the bag is opened, a glimpse of the pattern evokes scenes of vast oceans and resorts, subtly adding a relaxed mood that is typical of spring and summer.

Two colors are available: blue, reminiscent of Italian ocean waves, and roasted, reminiscent of resort architecture and the earth. It is calm, yet somehow light. The result is an elegant and deep look.

From the "URBANO" lineup are three types of bags that can accompany you in your daily life and on your travels.

It is a tote bag that can hold a lot, yet does not look overstated. This tote bag has just the right balance. It has a moderate horizontal width and a slightly deep, easy-to-use size. The interior leather strap can be connected to add a subtle change to the form. The striped lining that peeks out from the front opening also adds a fresh spring/summer accent. This highly versatile model is suitable for everything from overnight trips to daily use.

19/56/4/DS+RJ+A002 Color: BLUE, ROASTED Size: W18 x H23cm ¥75,900

This compact, sacosh-type shoulder bag is just the right model for days when you want to go light. In addition to the snap-button main compartment, the front L-shaped pocket is designed to easily organize small items such as smartphones, keys, and card cases. While it is easy to use like a pouch, the nylon and leather texture keeps it from becoming too rough. This bag combines a minimalist look with the practicality necessary for everyday use.

19/57/6/DS+RJ+A002 Color: BLUE, ROASTED Size: W23 x H35 x D20 cm ¥132,000

This 2-way shoulder bag has an impressive rounded shape like a knapsack. Equipped with a cotton shoulder belt and leather handles, it can be carried on the shoulder or hand-held with a high degree of freedom. The outside three-dimensional pocket has plenty of storage capacity, and the L-shaped zipper makes it easy to get small items in and out. It is a light and stylish model that you will want to take with you on your daily travels or for meals on your travels.

STORICO

Next, from the traditional all-leather collection "STORICO," comes a collection of leather accessories in bright colors.

The lineup includes a glass case with a strap and a key ring with a yacht motif. The signature FELIGI shrink leather is combined with seasonal colors such as amber, mint green, and brown, to create accessories that capture the cheerful mood of a vacation and the comfort of the seaside.

It does not make as much of a statement as a bag, but every time you pick it up, it makes you feel a little better. This small sense of fun can be said to be a characteristic of this season's "MARE" theme.

1178/1/LD Color: BLACK, BLUE, AMBER, BROWN, MINT GREEN Size: W17 x H9cm ¥49,500

A glass case with a strap for smartly carrying sunglasses or glasses. The combination of elegant shrink leather and vivid colors makes it a practical item that can also be used as an accessory. Worn around the neck, it adds a subtle sense of fun to a simple T-shirt day.

9135/1/LD+LD Color: CHALK×BLUE, CHALK×AMBER, CHALK×BROWN, CHALK×MINT GREEN Size: Total length 9×Ф4cm ¥31,900

The yacht motif key ring is the easiest item to enjoy this year's "MARE" theme. The bright and elegant color scheme, combining blue, amber, brown, and mint green on a chalk color base, is also attractive. Just by attaching the keys to the ring, you can create a graceful and charming look on your hand.

While being well-made, they can be incorporated into daily life without being overbearing. The reason for this lies in the small playful touches hidden in the lining and accessories. The two collections under the theme of “MARE” seem to provide a shrewd answer to the ambiguous word "loose".

Whether you are planning to go to the beach this summer or not. Whether you are planning to go to the beach this summer or not, these bags and small leather goods are just right if you want to add a bit of fun to your summer attire, which tends to be simple.
