This designer inspired bag is lovingly handcrafted of Italian Vachetta leather in jet black. Roomy enough for the essentials, small enough to transition seamlessly from day to night - it features a gratuitously studded base and unique, thick adjustable shoulder strap. 
 
Materials: Constructed from the highest quality, specialty leather from a renowned tannery in Tuscany, Italy. Vachetta leather is a vegetable tanned leather often used by luxury brands (for example Louis Vuitton). The body of the bag is made using 4.5-5oz (1.8-2mm thick) leather, with a metal zip closure and a chunky buckle for attaching the strap at each side, and 36 bag 'feet' lining the bottom for an eye-catching look. Riri Zip, Swiss-made.
Why Vegetable Tanned Leather? What is Full Grain Leather?
 
The adjustable strap is 1.5" wide and roughly 50" in length, made using 5-6oz (2-2.4mm thick) high quality Latigo leather. *Latigo is a vegetable tanned leather that is then permeated with oil and wax - giving it a more supple handfeel. Known for it's exceptional durability, it develops beautiful patina -deepening in color over time, while also being easy to care for and has a comfortable, broken in feel from the start. Strap is very adjustable to allow you to wear this piece as a shoulder bag worn high or low, as a cross-body bag - you can also wear this strap longer on one side for a unique asymmetrical style.
 
This piece is completely hand-stitched, providing sturdy, durable construction and flawless stitching. 
 
Shown with silver hardware, this piece is also available with gold or black hardware upon request (see last photos) - just add a note in the space provided when adding to cart.
 
This mid-size bag is the perfect size, at 7.5" in length, 6.5" high, and 3" deep.
