In just twelve short years, Lapis Bard has carved a name for itself as a premier brand of fine writing instruments and leather accessories. Their strength has always been their ability to blend timeless style and superior quality with great pricing. The Ducorium Collection of business bags, which was unveiled recently at the William Penn store, at Grand Galleria, High Street Phoenix in Mumbai, bears this out in full measure.
The word Ducorium is derived from the Latin terms – ‘Duo’ meaning two; and ‘Corium’ meaning leather. Hand painted edges give the bags in the collection a unique two-tone effect, which combined with their relaxed contours give them an air which is professional and yet languid.
The Ducorium Collection is available at www.lapisbard.com and at William Penn outlets across India.
