Margherita Missoni, Ximena Kavalekas Collaborate on Bag

The limited-edition version of Kavalekas’ top-selling Mandolin 2.0 bag will retail for $2,400.

FAST FRIENDSHIP: Margherita Missoni’s collaboration kick continues with luxury handbag-maker Ximena Kavalekas. Based in Milan and Miami, respectively, the designing mothers met through a common friend in January. Over lunch at Missoni’s home, their simpatico relationship quickly led to a limited-edition version of Kavalekas’ top-selling Mandolin 2.0 bag, Missoni’s favorite style within the python accessories collection manufactured in Tuscany.
