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.

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.

Our signature leather briefcase in Cognac. The same exquisite leather, palladium-plated brass hardware, and craftsmanship remain unchanged, while we've refined key details to enhance performance. Now upgraded with Swiss-made zippers — a subtle but meaningful refinement in both form and function. The shoulder strap attachment has been reinforced for greater strength and stability under load.

Each briefcase is handcrafted by old-world artisans in Florence, Italy, using only the finest first-pick, full-grain, vegetable-tanned Italian calfskin from one of Santa Croce's most prestigious tanneries. With time and use, the Cognac leather will develop a rich, unique patina, deepening in character. The accessories used throughout are made of palladium-plated brass for a luxuriant, lasting finish.

Metal feet protect the base from wear, and a detachable shoulder strap balances function with timeless style.
