Hardsided pièces means literally hard sided bags (although not always as sometimes they do make softside pieces with exceptional complexity such as LED keepall, that are referred to as hardsided. Most of the time they are the show stopper pieces on the runway and are made to order which means full deposit upfront and have to wait 6-12 months before receiving the bag…. Sometimes you have to wait longer than a year which is not unheard of. These pieces have unique code stamped on to it. I believe the code identify location made, date, and possibly buyer(this part I’m not sure). For this Fornasetti collab, the inflated hardsided bag, petite malle, and boite chapeau are considered as hardsided bags and they were available for order pretty much few days out after the show. I’m guessing the order period have closed.
