We’re proud to announce an upgrade to our signature leather briefcase.
While the same exquisite leather and craftsmanship remain unchanged, we’ve refined key details to enhance both performance and aesthetics. Now upgraded with Raccagni 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.
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 leather will develop a rich, unique patina, deepening in character. The accessories used throughout are made of palladium coated brass for a luxuriant, lasting finish.
Thoughtful design details include metal feet to protect the base from wear, and a detachable shoulder strap that balances function with timeless style.
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.
