The heart was one of Franco Moschino's recurring motifs: sweet, ironic and a little subversive at the same time. On this small wristlet it becomes the whole object, finished with gold lettering that spells out the name. Pieces like this hold the humour of 1990s Moschino in a compact, practical form.
Heart-shaped silhouette with gold-tone MOSCHINO hardware
This wristlet pouch was made by Redwall for Moschino in the 1990s. Its heart-shaped body measures 21 x 19 x 2.5 cm, with a zipped nylon pocket, a zip at the back and a leather wrist strap set with gold-tone metal letters spelling MOSCHINO. It holds only the essentials, which is part of its point: an accessory chosen for attitude rather than capacity.
Luxury with a sense of humour.
During the 1990s, Moschino's bags and small leather goods were produced by Redwall, an established Italian manufacturer. The partnership combined Franco Moschino's irreverent ideas with solid construction, and the Moschino by Redwall label is now a reference point for collectors of the brand's early accessories.
Franco Moschino used humour and pop imagery to question the seriousness of luxury fashion. Hearts, slogans and gold lettering appeared across his collections as symbols of joy and self-expression. In the 1990s these accessories reached a wide audience through popular culture, and they are often associated with the colourful wardrobe of Fran Fine in The Nanny.
Heart-shaped Moschino pieces from the 1990s were made as seasonal accessories and were often used heavily. Examples in near like-new condition, with hardware and lettering intact, are uncommon, and these bags have moved from everyday accessories to archival collectibles.
Pieces from the Franco Moschino era continue to draw collectors, particularly heart motifs and gold-lettered hardware.
Many of these small bags were used daily and show wear to leather and hardware. Near like-new examples appear rarely.
Renewed interest in 1990s fashion and television, including The Nanny, has kept these accessories in view for a new generation.
