Designed by creative director Riccardo Tisci, Olympia is inspired by the impressive architecture of Kensington Olympia, London. It was also the venue of the show in which the bag made its debut.

Each Olympia bag is handcrafted in Italy on a wooden block to achieve that perfect curve. Furthermore, it is engineered to be carried over the shoulder using the strap.
