I'm With the Bag

I've always wanted a pet. I like the idea of a companion with personality. Unfortunately, my current lifestyle isn't conducive to a creature-but there is always Weekend Max Mara's Pasticcino Bag.

"It's like a little pet and your best friend, because you hug it and you can take it with you," says Nicola Gerber Maramotti, a member of Max Mara ownership and Ambassador of the Weekend Max Mara Pasticcino Bag World Tour. As she talks, her hands make a wide, hugging motion, elbow-cradling an imaginary bag the way you might hand-carry a Maltese while walking through the streets of Rome.
