Description
MULTITUDES
Every layer tells its own story.
Complex, nuanced, not immediately understood — that's the Maddalena. Horizontal cobalt bands meet warm brown-caramel stripes, broken by white accents and intense red below. Like a woven fabric, revealed in satin-pleat format. A gift for someone who takes time to look, who appreciates deep, layered beauty.
For whom is this tote bag?
You're looking for a gift for someone who doesn't love simplicity, but layering that reveals itself as you look? The Maddalena speaks to people who understand layering — in fashion, interior, in life. Colours that dialogue with each other rather than pass by. A gift for a birthday, a move, an anniversary for someone who shares your artistic understanding.
The colour composition
Cobalt blue at top and bottom as anchor. In the middle: warm brown-caramel vertical stripes, narrowly interrupted by white. Between them an intense red that stirs everything up. This isn't chance, this is weaving technology translated into satin format. Every colour has a layer, every layer has a reason. Earthy meets electric — that's the Maddalena.
Craftsmanship and design heritage
The Maddalena is named after the Maddalena Archipelago — one of the most beautiful island groups off Sardinia's coast. The design references traditional weaving techniques, translated into the pleated-satin technique of Multitudes. The material is 100% recycled, but no compromise — it has silk feel, the handles are brown like earth, and everything together creates a coherent aesthetic.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Maddalena too complex for everyday use?
No, complexity isn't the same as impracticality. The Maddalena is wearable daily — with jeans, dresses, everything. The layered effect makes it interesting, not hard to carry. Many owners say: the more I use it, the more I love it.
What colours pair with such a pattern?
Because the Maddalena already has so many colours, it works best with basics: jeans, black, white, greys. It doesn't need more colour around it. That's when it becomes the eye-catcher and colour point for your whole outfit.
Is it design or just a print?
It's real design work. The pleats are worked into the satin structure, not printed on. That means: the colour layers have depth, they catch light differently. It's more durable than a print and doesn't fade as quickly.
Why are the handles brown and not black?
The brown handles fit the colour palette of the design — they're part of the composition. Brown is one of the warm colours in the design, so the handles fit thematically and balance the bag visually.
Is the Maddalena suitable as a gift?
Very much — if the person loves complexity and layering. It's a gift that shows: I understand your aesthetics. Birthday, moving in, new job for the artist or designer who shares your taste spectrum.
Is the Maddalena sustainable?
100% recycled polyester, Made in Italy. All Multitudes bags follow this standard. Sustainable here means: resource-efficient, durable, and wearable with good conscience.
Does the Maddalena work with my interior style?
With spaces that work with layers — natural materials, warm wood tones, perhaps industrial elements. The Maddalena works in lofts, studios, homes with conscious design. It's not subtle, it wants to be visible.
Is this tote bag machine washable?
Yes, absolutely. The Maddalena can be machine washed at 30°C or hand washed. The colours are lightfast and won't fade. Air dry to preserve the satin finish. It becomes more beautiful with every wash.
How is the bag packaged for gifting?
Each Multitudes bag arrives in protective packaging that protects the satin finish during shipping. The presentation is elegant, making it ready for gifting without additional wrapping. Your recipient will feel immediately that this is something special.
What can you fit in this tote bag?
The Maddalena is 40 × 48 cm — perfect for daily essentials: a laptop, books, groceries, a wallet, sunglasses. It's spacious without being oversized. Many owners use it as their go-to everyday bag for work, shopping, and travel.
