■ABOUT ANTEPRIMA/WIREBAG The wire bag, which could be considered an ANTEPRIMA signature, debuted in 1998. With the theme of Fun & Joy, over 600 styles and over 100 colors have been released to date, with the variety growing ever more abundant with each passing season. The bags, which sparkle in the light, are made entirely by artisans who meticulously hand-weave wire cord with a prism-like sheen. One of their distinctive features is that they have just the right amount of stretch, and change shape when items are placed inside. The versatile, basic form fits any woman's lifestyle, blending seamlessly into any occasion and bringing a lively sense of joy.
