Zilla on sale

Sylvia Pichler, the woman behind the Zilla brand, was born in Bolzano in Italy and has kept her heritage alive with her use of fine, hard to source fabrics and classic Italian design techniques. An architecture graduate with a unique aesthetic, Pichler bags are inspired by industrial materials: heavy metal, steel; the hard lines and edges of the building trade with a high end touch of shape and style. With a directional range that first launched in 2005, expect to discover beaten clutches and totes in crumpled gold, silver and rose alongside iridescent finishes like wearable oil slicks.
