Lock: a symbol of love


Born is a a curious phenomeon in ways of tradition, a phenomenon that is all Italian... in fact, Roman. On top of the Ponte Milvio Bridge in Rome (left picture), one of the most romantic of the capital, a little less than a year ago a new fashion mode for sweethearts was to tie onto a large chain attached to a pole, a lock with their initials written on top. The usual procedure to follow is that the two sweethearts hook their lock to then throw the only key in the Tevere River, in the gesture of eternal love, indissoluble...This strange phenomenon must have influenced in a reflex manner even the fashion system or is it a curious coincidence, but more and more often, one can see, in the proposals in the categories of "accessories" of the many prestigious and non designer fashion labels locks and keys as a recurring theme... Dior proposes the lock in the shape of heart with some of his handbags, on several pieces of jewellry and in the cosmetic line with a bicolored gloss. In the new purse, the "Gaucho bag" already a must for women, very sought-after with a bicolor profile, we find a large and characteristic pendant key. Even the historical brandname CHLOE' highlights the lock as a symbol of its immediate recoginition of the marvelous and much desired PADDINGTON BAG.
