Polipo: the Bag that Grips Like an Octopus

Polipo bags are designed by Luca Cagnassi, who ignited his career as an illustration and fashion designer for Energie, Miss Sixty, and other smaller companies.

Throughout those years, Luca developed a passion for racing bikes, a trend that has caught on alla grande—'big time'!

So, he began brainstorming about creating a line of handmade bags, which would go far beyond all that which is merely technical and practical to something with aesthetic value, and without compromising durability.

For those of you who speak or understand Italian, you know that Polipo means “octopus.” At first glance, I could not see the connection between an octopus and handbags, so I decided to ask Luca about it. This is what he wrote:

“Above all, the bag was conceived like an octopus with the tentacles that attach to your back, invoking the idea of something that does not let go but rather remains fixed where it is. For the rest, the logo is enchanting and the name rings exotic in the ears of those who do not speak Italian.”

Polipo—the bag that just won't let go!
