Handcrafted in Italy

True old-world craftsmen in the Florentine leather industry have unfortunately become an elusive bunch. Tradition, craftsmanship and quality are less of a priority for established luxury brands so it took a considerable amount of whispering around Florence to find the level of craftsmen that would help us bring this ambitious idea to reality. Carefully handmade at a small, discreet, family-operated workshop in the suburbs of Florence each bag benefits from over 350 years of collective experience creating some of the world’s most precious leather items.

##Our craftsmen source this beautiful vegetable tanned calfskin typically reserved for the highest end luxury brands from Santa Croce’s famed Badalassi Carlo Tannery. Luxuriously supple, full-grain Italian calf leather undergoes a natural, chemical-free tanning process that lasts over 40 days and is a secular tradition. This technique ensures the creation of 'life tools characterized by becoming more valuable over time. Archibald London A $3,000 Men’s Scarf for $575? A New Kind of Bargain by S. Christian (03/05/2017), The Wall Street Journal.

##We claim this to be comparable to the finest examples in the world, but what does that even mean? For us, they are made to such a standard that it makes you feel an inch taller - an item made of the very best and handcrafted to the very highest standards. Prepared to last and last well, to accompany you through all the ups and downs, the best times and the very worst absorbing any wear and serving as a diary for your life.

Design Note

In a bold, statement-making red, the Phileas Weekender v3 is the most striking of the range — a rich burgundy-crimson that commands attention at the luggage carousel and beyond. Its carefully conceived architecture is the result of five years of research and the experience of thousands of trips. The red leather carries a warmth and character that deepens with every outing, for those who prefer their essentials with a touch of drama. While the same leather, palladium-plated brass hardware, and most importantly craftsmanship remain unchanged, we've refined key details to enhance both performance and ensure we are standing by our commitment to deliver the possible product. Now upgraded with Swiss-made zippers — a subtle but meaningful refinement in both form and function. Additionally, the shoulder strap attachment has been reinforced for greater strength and stability under load. A hidden zip pocket sits on one side, while the main compartment opens to a cotton-lined interior. Metal feet protect the base from wear, and a detachable shoulder strap offers versatile carry. All hardware is crafted from palladium-plated brass, ensuring a luxurious and lasting finish. Ships to Australia.
