Max Mara Whitney Bag 5th Anniversary Limited Edition
A homage to Italian creativity and ingenuity, the Whitney Bag came about as the result of the unprecedented partnership between the Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Max Mara.
To celebrate its 5th anniversary, the cult bag has been revived in a special edition version dedicated to the American painter Florine Stettheimer who boasts an important presence at the Whitney. A feminist and activist ante-litteram (1871-1944), Stettheimer’s work “Sun”, created in 1931, inspired the bag’s five new color variants and the design of the floral printed lining. Indeed an anniversary issue, or better yet five, to collect like works of art.
“When I discovered ‘Sun’ in the Whitney’s collection, I was blown away by its expressiveness, its joyful exuberance. I wanted to infuse the bag with the same quality of ‘naive sophistication’ and a sense of optimism – I think the world needs a dose of that right now”. – Ian Griffiths
