Fabrique Presents Giorgia Scarpa’s Modern Take on the Classic Boston Bag

Some of fashion’s most recognisable accessories are shaped by designers whose names remain largely behind the scenes. Giorgia Scarpa is one of them. With a career spanning some of the world’s most influential luxury houses, including Saint Laurent, Gucci, Prada, Dior, Alaïa, Bottega Veneta, Versace and Bvlgari, Scarpa has spent decades refining the language of accessories.

For Fall 2026, Scarpa steps into the spotlight with Fabrique, bringing her experience across the luxury fashion landscape to her own interpretation of the contemporary handbag. Her Marais Soft Boston Leather Bag revisits one of fashion’s most enduring silhouettes through a distinctly relaxed lens. Crafted from waxed European leather and vintage Spanish suede, the bag retains the familiar proportions of the traditional Boston while softening its structure and allowing the form to fall naturally. There is an ease to the design that feels particularly relevant now. Rather than treating the Boston as a rigid classic, Scarpa allows it to evolve through its materials and construction. The result is a silhouette with enough structure to remain recognisable, yet enough softness to feel effortless in everyday use, I would know, it has carried my entire life for a few weeks now. 

The choice of materials is equally central to the design. Waxed leather brings a subtle depth and tactile quality, while vintage Spanish suede adds warmth and variation. Designed to develop character through wear, the Marais Soft Boston becomes increasingly personal over time, embracing the marks and changes that come with being lived with. Scarpa’s approach reflects an understanding of what makes a handbag endure. It is not simply about creating a recognisable shape, but about knowing when to preserve its essential qualities and when to let them evolve. In the Marais Soft Boston, a familiar classic becomes something quieter, softer and distinctly contemporary. After years spent shaping accessories within some of fashion’s most celebrated houses, Scarpa’s collaboration with Fabrique offers a rare opportunity to see the designer’s own point of view take centre stage.
