URBINO MINORE is a compact leather backpack for women with a practical 2-in-1 design. Made in Tuscany from soft Italian Lavata calf leather, it can be carried as a backpack, over one shoulder or by hand. Its compact format, flexible carrying options and vintage-inspired character make it a practical choice for everyday use, city life and leisure.
The interior is designed for personal belongings, smaller documents and a tablet of a suitable size. The main compartment closes with a rear zipper and stays close to the body when worn as a backpack. Two front zip pockets feature distinctive braided leather details, while two additional side pockets keep frequently used items within easy reach.
URBINO MINORE is the smaller version of URBINO. Model MINORE offers a more compact format for everyday essentials, while the larger URBINO provides more space and accommodates A4 documents.
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.
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.
Can URBINO MINORE be worn as both a backpack and a shoulder bag?
Yes. The flexible strap system allows the bag to be carried on the back or over one shoulder. It can also be carried by hand when preferred.
What is the difference between URBINO MINORE and URBINO?
URBINO MINORE is the smaller and more compact model, designed for everyday essentials. The larger URBINO offers more space and accommodates A4 documents. MINORE also features braided leather details on the front pockets, which are not found on the larger model.
Is URBINO MINORE made from genuine Italian leather?
Yes. It is made from genuine Italian Lavata calf leather. As natural leather can vary, slight differences in color, grain and surface texture may occur between individual pieces.
How should Lavata calf leather be cleaned?
For light dirt, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild cleaner suitable for smooth leather and test it on a hidden area first. Avoid strong cleaning products, alcohol and vigorous rubbing.

Pelle Lavata, also known as Washed Leather, is natural leather that undergoes a special washing and tumbling process after tanning. This treatment gives the leather an exceptionally soft and supple feel, along with a distinctive, slightly aged appearance and natural creasing. It is widely used for bags and backpacks, where its comfort and relaxed vintage character make it particularly appealing.
Lavata leather, also known as Washed Leather, is made by washing already tanned and dyed natural leather in large industrial drums with water and softening agents. The intensive tumbling process softens the leather fibres, partially lightens the surface and creates its characteristic natural creases. The result is exceptionally soft, supple leather with a naturally aged vintage appearance from the very beginning.
A Lavata leather bag feels wonderfully soft and supple from the very first use, making it comfortable to carry every day. Its naturally worn-in look, with distinctive creases and subtle variations in the leather, gives it a unique vintage character that only becomes richer with time. It’s a great choice for anyone who appreciates genuine materials, everyday comfort and leather that develops more character as it ages.
