Made in Tuscany, Italy, YOTTI is a spacious women's shopper bag crafted from real Italian calf leather. The Lavata finish brings out the leather's natural grain and subtle variations in tone. Its supple, lightly creased surface gives it a relaxed, slightly slouchy look with understated vintage character. The timeless design works just as well with casual everyday outfits as with smarter looks.
The bag has short and long top handles, giving you the choice of carrying it by hand or over the shoulder. It does not come with a separate shoulder strap. The main compartment closes with a zip, while the metal press studs at the sides let you adjust the width of the top.
The Lavata finish is applied after the bag has been made. The leather is washed, gently dried and brushed. This process helps give it a soft, supple feel while bringing out its natural grain. Light creasing and subtle variations in tone create a naturally patinated appearance rather than an artificially distressed finish.
Real leather can vary slightly in colour, grain and texture. These natural characteristics mean that each bag may have its own subtle variations.
The metal press studs at the sides allow you to change the shape of the opening. Fastened, they create a narrower silhouette; undone, they let the top open out more fully. This practical detail gives you some flexibility in how the bag looks without compromising its timeless design.
The cotton lining gives the interior a neat finish. The zipped inner pocket keeps smaller items separate, while the two open pockets make everyday essentials, such as your phone and keys, easier to find.
What outfits and occasions does this bag suit?
YOTTI pairs easily with jeans and a shirt, relaxed trousers or knitwear. It is well suited to days in the city, shopping and workdays when you need to carry documents. With tailored trousers or a simple dress, it also complements a smarter outfit.
Why is Lavata leather so soft?
The Lavata finish involves washing the leather after the bag has been made, followed by gentle drying and brushing. This process helps give the material its supple feel and brings out its natural grain and lightly creased surface.
Is Lavata leather durable?
The lifespan of leather depends partly on how it is used and cared for. To help preserve its appearance, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, repeated rubbing against rough surfaces and harsh cleaning products. Subtle changes in colour and texture may occur naturally over time.
Is this bag practical for everyday use, and what can it hold?
The main compartment accommodates everyday essentials, including a wallet, phone, keys and other personal items. It also fits A4 documents. The zipped inner pocket and two open pockets help keep smaller belongings organised.
Can the bag be carried over the shoulder? Does it come with a separate shoulder strap?
Yes. The long top handles allow you to carry it over the shoulder, while the short handles are suitable for carrying it by hand. The bag does not come with a separate shoulder strap.
Is the texture printed onto the leather?
No. The texture comes from the woven leather construction itself rather than a printed or embossed pattern. It adds depth to the surface without overpowering the bag's overall design.
How should I care for Lavata leather?
Gently remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a product specifically designed for leather and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid soaking the material, using harsh cleaners or drying the bag close to a direct heat source.

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.

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.
