Bellina
A Cortina Collection with Virginia Langley & Crypton
Bellina
Introducing Bellina, Cortina’s latest collaboration with award-winning textile designer Virginia Langley and protected by Crypton. Inspired by emerging haute couture colors at Fashion Week in Milan and color forecasts for 2024 and beyond, Virginia created a sophisticated color story with deep contrasts of rich, earthy shades and the dusted and misty tones of nature, all seen most vividly in our golden hours. Using Virginia’s hand-painted color swatches, together she and Cortina created an elegant collection ready to be mixed and layered for a casual harmony.
Made in Italy by true leather artisans, Bellina’s variable pebble grain and subtle color variation from tips to valleys, combine to create a lovely textural and biophilic appeal. Bellina is a thick (1.3-1.5mm) full-grain aniline made on quality, large (average 50-55 sq.ft.) hides and the finished product has a low sheen, a beautiful drape, and the dreamy, velvety hand defined only by quality, genuine leather. Cortina crafted Bellina as a response to designers’ requests for an extremely soft, textural leather that will age gracefully without patina, yet is offered at a surprisingly accessible price point.
Protected by Crypton for excellent stain resistance and cleanability, Bellina is a sustainable and versatile collection in 15 fashionable colorways that will radiate casual sophistication in any interior application. Samples available late May.
