Inés de Cominges and the Spanish brand behind its crocodile effect belt bag
By Marta Martinez Tato
The style of Inés de Cominges is characterized by being the perfect and explosive mixture of references that, once seen, seems simple. Reaching these combinations, however, and having them turn out well, reveals a great knowledge of fashion. The mix of brands is one of the keys to Inés de Cominges' impeccable wardrobe. In her outfits, it is common to see her with luxury firms, such as Dior, and others with small print runs and artisan cuts from the Spanish label. This is precisely the formula that she has used for her latest look, the one she wore yesterday for her day-to-day in Paris, the city where she lives. She paired straight-cut jeans with her favorite feathers from Dior and leopard print and velvet bow slippers from Chatelles, the shoe brand created by her husband, François du Chastel. The urban touch was provided by a bottle green crocodile-effect leather belt bag, the work of SUR SAC.
SUR SAC is a brand created by Ana Gallego who designs and produces her bags in Barcelona. Ella's founder, coming from the world of marketing, decided to create her own firm to be able to participate in the entire process of a product, from its design to its sale in the store. She has always been clear that she wanted products made in Spain and that defended the importance of producing locally. Bags are, at the moment, her specialty. And we say at the moment because Ana Gallego dares from time to time to try new fields of design such as jewelry. Under the title of Digital Crafts, a series of 3D printed and manually polished rigid necklaces and bracelets are included. Sustainable jewelry, made with a biodegradable material of plant origin, which is made to order and has that minimalist aesthetic that permeates all the pieces of SUR SAC.
The Valentina bag, box-shaped, with a wide leather strap and thick link chain, is one of her star pieces and the starting point for another of her most special projects, Her. Valentina's redesign where craftsmanship and the latest digital technology meet. This limited edition bag is made up of 63 3D printed and manually assembled pieces. A production mode that ensures that only the necessary material is used without generating waste in which they collaborate with the Spanish company specialized in digital manufacturing Comme des Machines.
SUR SAC is that brand of accessories, which takes care of every last detail with care, eternal designs and infallible colors, which must be followed closely. Having one of her pieces makes the difference and Inés Cominges is the proof that confirms it.
