Description
MULTITUDES
The bag that doesn't compromise — pure colour, pure statement.
The Rainbow Tote is the answer to "why hold back?" With its iconic arch design in bold violet, brilliant red, hot magenta, and deep black, this bag becomes wearable art. Each colour is intentional — not pastel, not sweet, but pop-art inspired and graphically striking. This is the tote for people who speak in colour.
Colour and Form
The Rainbow Tote lives through graphic clarity. Concentric arches in violet, red, magenta, and black create a dynamic op-art pattern that catches attention instantly — whether at the market or at gallery openings. The silk-effect finish on recycled polyester makes every colour glow deeper, while black satin handles keep the design deliberately grounded.
Why You'll Love It
Rainbow works as daily carry and as a gift statement all at once. It's perfect for creative personalities, art lovers, and anyone who believes colour is a language. Ideal as a birthday gift, for moving celebrations, for marking moments that deserve brightness — or simply as a reward to yourself when you're ready to stop playing small with colour.
Material and Craft
Multitudes uses silk-effect pleating: recycled polyester is finished with fine pleats that catch light and give colours dimensional depth. This technique is labour-intensive, but it's what separates Rainbow from a printed bag — the colours feel spatial, almost three-dimensional. Handcrafted in Milan to strict standards.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Rainbow Tote practical for everyday use?
Yes, completely. At 40 × 48 cm, it holds a laptop, books, and daily essentials with ease. The recycled polyester is durable and black handles hide wear — the bag gets better with time, not older.
Will the colours fade?
No. The silk-effect finish protects the colours, and recycled polyester is colourfast. The pleating structure means that even if the surface becomes slightly less shiny, the colours in the pleats stay vibrant — your bag stays alive.
Can I wash it?
Yes, the Rainbow can be machine washed at 30°C or hand washed with gentle soap and air dried. Low-heat ironing is fine — it refreshes the pleating structure.
Will a laptop fit?
A 13" laptop fits comfortably, plus notebook, water, and daily items. It's deeper than it first appears — the pleated fabric creates volume that surprises.
How does Rainbow differ from other Multitudes bags?
Rainbow is the most graphic and colour-bold — no subtle blocking, just concentric arches in brilliant violet, red, and magenta. It's for people who love colour and reject understatement.
Is it a good gift?
Perfect. Rainbow is emotional and visual — it signals "I know your taste and respect your style." Ideal for birthdays, moving celebrations, or as a thank-you gift for creative people, artists, and colour-lovers.
How are the colours made?
The recycled polyester is dyed in Italy, then processed with pleating technique. All dyes meet OEKO-TEX standards — no toxic chemicals, safe production.
Will the bag lose its shape?
No. The silk-effect satin has natural rigidity that stabilises the bag shape. The pleating structure adds further stability — it stays upright whether empty or full.
Is it for summer only, or year-round?
The recycled polyester is temperature-stable — wear it year-round. In summer, the colours glow brighter. In autumn, it pairs with darker outfits. Rainbow works in every season as a visual statement.
Can I personalise or modify my bag?
The silk-effect finish is robust enough for small embroidery, but won't accept dyeing or bleaching. Best personalisation: add a charm or pendant to the handles, or tie a scarf on — though Rainbow needs no modification, it's already complete.
