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.

In cognac, the Phileas Jr. shows off the Badalassi Carlo Minerva leather's natural warmth and character. Handcrafted in Florence, Italy from vegetable-tanned hide sourced in Santa Croce, Tuscany — a leather that develops a beautiful patina with use. Now upgraded with Swiss-made zippers. The shoulder strap attachment has been reinforced for greater strength 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 palladium-plated brass by Dos Pablos e Hijos of Madrid. The cognac is the colour that will age most visibly and most beautifully.
