Film characters have inspired many fashion labels and French brand Lancel is no exception. Its latest handbag collection, Pyrate, is inspired by a flamboyant baroness who sails the high seas in L'Ile aux Tresors, a film released this year. The bag's ad campaign features actress Alice Taglioni, who plays the character in the film. The drawstring bags are detailed, with metal hardware, long leather tassles and an adjustable strap. For a day-to-day bag, opt for the black leather version with silver metal hardware (right; HK$10,970) or go all out with the red chain-mail version trimmed in red crocodile-embossed leather and featuring gold metal hardware (left; HK$11,640). The collection is available at all Lancel locations, including shop 2079, IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2234 7228.
