WANT Les Essentiels Women's Fall/Winter 2016 Collection

Understated luxury and refined sophistication prevail in WANT Les Essentiels’ Fall/Winter 2016 women’s collection, which is inspired by the concept of ‘Uni.form.ality’, or the ceremony of incorporating a daily uniform that reflects ones personal style while embracing utility and function.

The collection assumes the purest form of practicality and utility. Classic silhouettes are updated with utilitarian sensibility through sharp lines and innovative materials, without detraction from their original purpose.

This season, a range of rich neutrals such as rich mocha, muted green and navy make an impactful statement among our iconic styles. Classic pieces such as the City Shoulder Bag and Piper and Mini Piper Backpack are presented in Sage Bouclé, Bordeaux, and Gilded Plum, while the Barajas Folio boasts a Black Nubuck Stripe. The collection’s intelligent design, combined with the natural blending of warm colors and textures, beautifully asserts the artfully-considered, forward-thinking lifestyle of the WANT woman.

New styles this season include the Mini and Maxi Demiranda, based on the brand’s popular Demiranda shoulder bag. The Mini is ideal for hands-free outings and is large enough to fit an iPhone 6 Plus, while the Maxi offers additional space to accommodate all of life’s essentials. An outside pocket allows further ease of access to items.

A welcome addition to the collection, WANT Les Essentiels Fall/Winter 2016 features the Lennon Sneaker for women—a slightly more feminine version of their popular men’s version, adapted for a custom, comfortable fit. The sneaker is offered in White, Black/Obsidian, Mocha/Quartz and Bordeaux/Gilded Plum—the ideal accessory to embrace uni.form.ality throughout the season and beyond.
