Bags are the pinnacle of where fashion meets function. Unlike other accessorise, which are purely decorative, we need bags to carry our stuff — laptops in the day, and lipsticks at night. Which is why it is so worthwhile, to invest in a quality one.
When it comes to local designers, Miri Weiss ranks amongst the best. An Art and Philosophy graduate, Miri is the creative mind behind Cyan bags. “‘Cyan’ has two meanings,” Miri explains, “it is the color turquoise, one of the primary colors in print, and a filter that has been used in films to create a world of fantasy and dreams.”
Miri has succeeded in balancing her creativity and love of whimsy with what women want. “Each design is created through a lot of thought of women’s needs, life and body movement.” Cyan bags appear deceptively simple; the shapes are classic: roomy backpacks, some with an envelope closing, crossover side purses, the colors are natural in blacks, browns and tans, yet each are carefully crafted. All items are hand made in Tel Aviv, sewn piece by piece in premium quality leather. The summer “Moon Collection," takes inspiration from the moon in regard to shapes, cut and texture. Miri has succeeded in balancing the timeless with the modern, ensuring that each design will continue to suit any outfit, and outlive any fashion fads.
