"KOTUR's penchant for the unconventional combines chic retro glamour with exotic influences, style above fashion" by Fiona Kotur Marin
Well travelled, culturally and artistically inclined, Fiona Kotur Marin often finds inspiration from exotic lands and rich histories of textile and ornament. She first introduced a limited edition of brocade clutches under her maiden name, KOTUR in 2004, inspired by the remarkable discovery of a trove of vintage brocades that was originally woven for european couture houses in the 1960's and 1970's.
The collection has since expanded to include chic, sought after minaudieres, evening clutches and day handbags, and is characterized by refined and timeless design, and infused with unique and unexpected details - mandarin locks, art deco references, rich embellishment and exotic skins - italian python, ayers snakeskin, shagreen and tortise penshell finishes.
Fiona often names the bags after her muses - her friends as inspirations: accomplished, bright, world and chic; women like her, full of passion, vitality and individuality. The bags have become favorites among Hollywood celebrities like
Mischa Barton,
Sienna Miller,
Tilda Swinton,
Drew Barrymore,
Gweneth Paltrow and
Jacquetta Wheeler to name a few.
KOTUR today is well received by international retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel and Scoop in New York. Harvey Nichols in Hong Kong, London and Dubai and Browns in London. Kotur's penchant for the unconventional combines chic retro glamour with exotic influences, style above fashion.
