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.

In a deep, inky navy, the Phileas Weekender offers a refined alternative to black — dark enough for formality yet with a richness that sets it apart. The navy calfskin deepens with use to produce a beautifully variegated patina that reads more character than wear.

Handcrafted by old-world Italian artisans in Florence, Italy, using only the finest, first-pick, full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian calfskin sourced from one of Santa Croce's most prestigious tanneries. With use, the leather will darken to produce a beautiful and unique patina over time. With a hidden zipped pocket on one side, the bag unzips to a cotton-lined interior. Metal feet protect the base from scuffs, while a detachable shoulder strap provides an additional option — putting style and function on equal footing. The vegetable-tanned calfskin from Badalassi Carlo undergoes a natural, chemical-free process lasting over 40 days. Ships to Hong Kong.
