SS18 About Gnome & Bow Gnome & Bow was founded on the notion that bags can go beyond functionality to become a new medium for storytelling, evoking the same emotions as our favorite stories. The Gnome represents that element of fantasy while the Bow symbolises the mark of class. Together, the harmony of these elements guides us in our design philosophy. Drawing inspiration from the classics to tales of fancy, we develop story elements that are imbued seamlessly into our goods. As with reading a book for the first time, exploring our products will uncover subtle and clever details that reveal a story you ll find familiar, but with a modern twist. We believe our bags should be as timeless as the stories that inspire us. Book III: The 4th Musketeer Drawing inspiration from Alexander Dumas most notable work, Book III: The 4th Musketeer collection of bags and wallets was designed to be the quintessence of the famous saying All for one, one for all or Tour por un, un por tour in French. Strength of Unity Each bag, brandished with Tour por un, is equipped with a detachable pouch, emblazoned with Un por tour, a hint at the individual who is integral to the team and vice versa. Each part works hand-in-hand to offer stylish and functional qualities that the modern individual seeks. An Heirloom Book Produced in very limited quantities, each wallet in this collection is housed in our signature book box. The Synopsis Three brothers Porthos, Armamis and Athos set out to fulfil the lifelong quest of their late father, King Louis XIII, by attempting to obtain the Diamond Lily. Famed to be the most desirable and intriguing of mythical gems, King Louis XIII believed that the Diamond Lily was the key to unifying the warring kingdoms for good. Meanwhile, D Aryna - who controls the borderlands, Chieftress of the infamous Syeria Clan, claims to have found clues to track down the diamond. What secrets will the Diamond Lily unravel? And who will find it first? The Diamond Lily is found when the brothers reunite with their long-lost sister D yrna, like how our collection emblem is formed by four fleur-de-lis merging squarely and evenly - an apt embodiment of unity.
