Le coup de foudre. Enraptured, fascinated by this one fleeting but penetrating impression. lookING away, passING by and not wantING to grasp is SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE after this first UNFORGETTABLE IMPRESSION. This mysterious urge, deep inside me, lets dreams blossom into clear visions. Confused I remain alone with my longings unfulfilled. The impossibility of recurrence, desiring and wanting, makes clear that only action can bring ease. In my mind`s eye, like a thread of red silk, is my future path, leading back to this moment, which appeared silently and weightlessly for only a fraction in time. This first glimpse stays with me and accompanies me throughout the day which began WITH A GENTLE RAY OF LIGHT.

What evolves when an artist discovers his passion for bags? A statement, a plea for the perfect shape and the ardent reduction to the DNS of elegance. A single piece of the most valuable leather must suffice for perfect form and simplicity in exclusive workmanship.

With the creation of “heartbow” Josef Wagner is pursuing a mission: “This bag exists because of a need, a need for something uncomplicated – the very essence of a bag that hides nothing, where everything lies open and visible. One cut, two seams and loving craftsmanship produce the beauty of purity in a perfect shape.” 

For Wagner the discovery of this cut was enlightenment, love at first sight. This moment will be visible on every unique bag from his label "amorous rapture" – le coup de foudre in its purest form.
