The Story of This Bag:

In a tiny artisan studio tucked behind the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, where the echoes of Renaissance masters still linger, this bag came to life. It began with a vision of summer of sunshine flickering through olive trees, of Aperol spritzes sipped on terracotta balconies, and of bold Italian women walking confidently through cobbled piazzas.

One morning, a young American tourist named Lena wandered into the studio. She had just come from a walk along the Arno River, camera in hand, heart full of wonder. She wasn’t looking for a bag she was searching for a memory she could carry. And then she saw it: a vibrant red-leather-trimmed basket bag on a wooden table, freshly finished, still smelling of hand-polished leather.

Drawn by its boldness, its soft raffia texture, and its golden details, she picked it up and knew it was hers. It reminded her of gelato flavors, of passion, of summer in a city that forever leaves its mark on the soul.

This is that bag.

Every stitch in this piece is the work of a seasoned Florentine artisan, using skills passed down from generations. The red leather symbolizes energy and self-expression; the raffia represents nature, warmth, and slow summer days. The drawstring closure evokes traditional market baskets women once carried to the village square, reimagined now with elegance and flair.

Whether you carry it through art museums or Sunday brunches, this bag tells a story—a story of Florence, of heritage, of spontaneous beauty, and of a woman who dares to stand out.

This bag is not just fashion. It’s a memory. It's a masterpiece.
It’s Made in Italy.
