Inspired by the joie de vivre of millennials and the young at heart, Braun Büffel creative director Fabio Panzeri has designed a range of accessories for the next generation of travellers, explorers, and nomadic entrepreneurs who have made the world their office. Expect light as air, multi-functional pieces made of durable nylon in striking colours, finished with calf leather accents and dark gun metal hardware for that touch of edge. Modern, easy shapes make the bags perfect for everyday metropolitan commutes as well as wild sojourns into the unknown.
“To be classic means to be modern. It’s a question of evolution,” Panzeri explained. “If you want to be classic, you have to evolve.” And that’s precisely what he continues to do at Braun Büffel, revisiting and reimagining design hallmarks with a fresh perspective while staying true to the brand’s DNA.
For Braun Büffel Autumn/Winter ’19, Wunder Wander—the millennial’s guide to wandering—he reinterpreted the German house’s iconic buffalo motif into a new visual signature, the #BBMonogram. Symbolising power and strength, interlocking buffalos dance across a geometrical graphic print in three colourways through the unisex Delos and Harrison collections and the Misty range.
CONCRETE JUNGLE
With the world moving at a faster pace, you’ll want an accessory that can keep up. A bag you can throw your gym gear into yet still hold everything you need for that afternoon meeting.
Harrison speaks to the modern active man in search of urban and travel essentials that are also fun and lightweight. Black and navy takes the lead on graphic nylon with the new monogram print and Nappa leather, amped up with Ionised Plating (IP) hardware in a ceramic black finish.
HARDCORE
Orange is the new black—or is it? One thing for sure, energetic brights definitely make a fierce statement. Designed for the bold, Delos has also been given a graphic update with the new monogram print on nylon and Nappa leather in a fresh palette of orange and black, while the Fidlock magnetic slider buckle hardware further drives in Braun Büffel’s commitment to innovation in the digital age.
MISS INDEPENDENT
Women’s accessories may at times call for a softer touch but like those who wear them, there’s so much more than meets the eye. Think pretty and powerful—from business luncheon to beach party in a snap.
Misty’s lightweight utilitarian design exemplifies multi-functionality as a core principle, for today’s woman on the go. The new monogram graphic print meets the signature twist lock and leather braided handles on sumptuous brown nylon with calf leather accents, offset with dark gun metal hardware.
All in all, Panzeri breaks the archaic societal laws of dressing, merging Braun Büffel’s traditional design codes of utilitarianism and technical finesse into an evolved narrative of “The Millennial Nomad”—a contrasting hybrid between urban and elegant.
