In short, the felted tweed is created through a meticulous four-step production process that involves steps such as boiling, soft bathing, wringing, pruning, and ironing, but in much more romantic-sounding Italiano terms, like &amp;quot;folloni,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rameuse,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;decatizzo.&amp;quot; Bell-i-ssimo. The exquisite results, which bridge both modern and classic elements, were then crafted into gorgeous tweedy blazers and Grace Kelly-esque swingy coats, plus retro-luxe handbags, like these: Prada wool boucle bowler bag in tobacco, saksfifthavenue.com Prada boucle vintage bowler bag in brown, neimanmarcus.com Prada wool boucle bowler bag in bronze, saksfifthavenue.com Would you wear felted tweed?
