Vespa 946 Horse and In Sella Collection Launch
Vespa has expanded its Lunar Collection with the introduction of the Vespa 946 Horse, a limited-edition scooter dedicated to the Year of the Horse. This release marks the third installment in the series, following the previous Dragon and Snake editions. Alongside the new vehicle, Vespa has debuted “In Sella,” the third fashion drop from its “Al Vento” lifestyle collection.
Design and Equestrian Inspiration
The Vespa 946 Horse is designed to embody values of resilience and elegance. The scooter features a distinctive bay color, a deep brown shade inspired by the glossy coat of a horse. Its steel body utilizes a combination of matte and gloss finishes, accented by refined golden details. A notable design element is the V monogram stamped within a horseshoe located beneath the saddle.
Reflecting Italian craftsmanship, the model includes:
- A handcrafted leather saddle inspired by equestrian tack.
- Premium leather trims on the handlebars and rear-view mirrors.
- A dedicated accessory line, including a leather rear bag and a windshield with aluminium supports.
- A matching jet helmet featuring a three-dimensional gold V.
The In Sella Fashion Capsule
The accompanying “In Sella” capsule collection introduces the Royal crest, a symmetrical graphic featuring a horse and a dachshund inspired by archival Vespa designs. The collection’s primary color is navy blue.
The apparel line includes:
- Wool Varsity Jackets: Featuring gold embroidery and the Royal crest.
- Knitwear: Vests, sweaters, and cable-knit cardigans detailed with the V monogram and saddlery-inspired stitching.
- Graphic Apparel: Poplin shirts, sweatshirts, and T-shirts, including an ironic graphic of a horse and a rider sharing an espresso.
