It is his focus on the enjoyment of life’s objects of necessity that puts Isaac Reina’s accessories on the map. Though he himself is Spanish born, his collections are unquestionably French. Since 2006, his eponymous brand has been designing and producing accessories with “sophisticated savoir-faire” in Paris, France. After studying under such renown French fashion names as Hermes and Maison Martin Margiela, he ventured out on his own.
Inspired by the geometry and structure of architecture, Isaac Reina’s FW16 collection is not bold, not showy, not flashy. Instead, he finesses clean lines and simple constructions to make his line of accessories light weight and minimal. A dedicated commitment to quality and craftsmanship is obvious once you interact with these constructions of leather. These are “objects of worship” that you prize for their softness and warmth.
Luxury can be a sticky word when it comes to accessories. Many collections focus on iconic, eye-catching pieces with embellishments and ornamentation. Steering clear of that aesthetic, Isaac Reina simplifies with intention to craft an object that is understated, but unmistakably luxurious. As he puts it, “say less in a strong way – it has more impact.”
These items – handbags, cardholders, beauty cases- become part of your everyday, they hold a sense of intimacy, they accompany you everywhere. Isaac Reina makes this partnership with accessories familiar, comfortable, celebrated. If you attribute the perfect bag, belt or wallet to be timeless and covetable, you’ll find yourself at home with Isaac Reina leathers.
