May 2019, best known for cigarette cases made from recyclable cardboard, embellished with various printed fabrics.
Di Carcaci told Business Insider she started the business after realizing there was a white space in the smoking accessories market, even though many people still smoke.
Non-smokers love the case, too, she said, and use it as a
credit card holder or a jewelry case.
The brand is already sold in London s exclusive membership club 5 Hertford Street and at other locations in London and Paris.

Fashion in 2020 has taken a turn. We traded in heels for slippers and dressed up to go nowhere. Designers reimagined the spring-summer 2021 season into digital presentations, masked events, staged runways, or opted out of showing altogether. Those that did were creative, but the successful collections were the ones empathetic to both the devastating and joyful events that occurred in quarantine. I wanted to focus on the essence of things, creative director Anthony Vaccarello said in the press release for Saint Laurent s Summer21 collection, which premiered today. I think it’s a sign of the times, but I didn’t want anything bleak or heavy.
