Here's a nero bag in the Capra Liquid treatment, an embroidered style with a sheen from early fall 2015.

This new treatment for Resort 2015-2016 is called CRAVATTERIA. It is an embroidery and screen print process. The inspiration on this collection is the geometric patterns found on men's neckties. Here are a few examples:

Not sure if this counts, and haven't seen it posted yet...

INTRECCIO TOBU AYERS OLIMPIA BAG
Rare, precious materials and supreme workmanship add a touch of luxurious glamour to this striking Olimpia bag. Inspired by the Teatro Olimpico, designed by Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, the piece has been rendered in exotic ayers and tone-on-tone nappa leather. With a striking 3D-effect, the compact contours have been entirely crafted in signature intrecciato, offset by a hand-stitched array of Intreccio Tobu ‘wing’ accents. Finished with the new and distinctive metal handles with a comfortable leather carrying strap, the design comes complete with a velours-lined compartment, internal zip pocket, smartphone sleeve, a coordinated ayers mirror and brunito-finish accents.

A unique iridescent effect gives this elegant zip-around style a sophisticated twist. Our signature intrecciato is paired with a pearly textured-leather panel, both crafted in extra soft tonal lambskin.

From the Cruise 2017 collection:

Taking its name from the Roman mosaics of the Sicilian town of Piazza Armerina, the eye-catching square tile motif is stitched into a precise geometric pattern over iconic Intrecciato.

Inspired by @etoupebirkin 's beautiful reveal, I thought I would post this Knot here.

OTTONE ANTICO KARUNG KNOT WITH METAL DETAILS
50th Anniversary Limited Edition

Hand-crafted in metallic-sprayed karung leather, the bag is encased in a luminous silver grid and embellished with an array of flowers. Each flower is a jewel in its own right, designed in silver and translucent enamel. The iconic engraved clasp is crafted in silver and brushed with gold, adding a luxurious finishing touch. Lined in soft nappa and featuring the 50th Anniversary engraved plaque.
