Lavata calf leather – soft with a natural vintage character
Lavata calf leather undergoes a special washing and finishing process after the bag has been sewn. The finished bag is washed in a drum, gently dried and then brushed by hand. This treatment gives the leather a soft, supple feel and a lightly wrinkled surface with a matte or semi-matte finish. Its subtly worn appearance is part of the material’s natural character and complements the vintage look. With use, the leather becomes softer and develops a natural patina.
Practical interior
The interior has a cotton lining, one zip pocket and two open compartments for organising smaller personal belongings. The compact format is suited to everyday essentials without the bulk of a larger backpack.

Tips on how to care for a leather bag
Your leather handbag or backpack is made from high-quality Italian leather, which is a noble and living material – over time, it develops a beautiful, natural patina. With a few simple and regular treatments, you can maintain its softness, shine, and unique appearance for many years.
- Daily cleaning: Regularly remove dust with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth (preferably microfiber). Avoid ordinary cleaning agents and wet wipes, which can dry out the leather.
- Nourishing and moisturizing: 2–3 times a year, apply a colorless nourishing cream or high-quality leather balm (we recommend products like Saphir Renovateur or similar). Gently massage the product in small circular motions to ensure good absorption and to refresh the velvety softness of the leather.
- Protection from external factors: Avoid prolonged exposure of the bag to direct sunlight, which can dry out and discolor the leather. In case of rain or moisture, immediately wipe the bag with a clean cloth and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators and other heat sources.
- Storage: Store the bag in a cotton dust bag, preferably flat or hung, in a dry, airy place, away from light. Avoid plastic bags, which prevent the leather from breathing.
Thanks to these simple treatments, your Italian leather bag will gain character with each passing year, developing a unique patina that will make it truly personal and timeless.
Fair Trade
Our leather products are made locally in Italy, as well as in Madagascar, India, Pakistan and Bhutan. We carefully select our partners to ensure high quality and fair value for our products. They are mainly craftsmen, running small workshops employing 2-3 people, usually from the family. This is important to us, because the craft is perfected and passed down from generation to generation, which guarantees the high quality of the manufactured products.
We strictly adhere to the principles of fair trade, focusing on transparency, honesty and respect in business relations, e.g. by paying fair prices or supporting - where necessary - the local community in difficult times.
