Astardo Intrecciato is a leather shoulder bag for women made from soft Italian calf leather. Its braided surface gives the design a distinctive character, while the compact shape makes it comfortable to carry throughout the day.
The adjustable and removable leather strap offers versatile ways to wear the bag. Carry it over the shoulder for a relaxed, elegant look or wear it crossbody when you want to keep your hands free while shopping, travelling or moving around the city.
The calf leather has a supple, flexible feel and is pleasant to the touch. As with genuine natural leather, subtle variations in grain, texture and colour may occur from one bag to another.
These variations are part of the material's character rather than imperfections. With use, the leather can develop a natural patina that gives the bag an individual appearance.
The braided construction is the defining feature of Astardo Intrecciato. It adds texture and depth while keeping the overall design refined and easy to style.
It offers a distinctive alternative to a classic smooth leather bag. Black is timeless and versatile, cognac adds warmth, while beige creates a softer, lighter look.
Astardo is designed for the essentials rather than a large amount of belongings. The interior is suitable for a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses and other small personal items.
Its lightweight profile makes it practical for city walks, shopping, restaurants, travelling and everyday outings. It is ideal when you want a small bag that is easy to carry without unnecessary bulk.
The strap can be adjusted to your preferred length and removed when you want a cleaner, more minimal silhouette.
With the strap attached, Astardo can be worn over the shoulder or crossbody. Without it, the bag takes on a simpler, more refined appearance.
Is this a small leather bag suitable for everyday use?
Yes. Astardo is designed for days when you prefer to carry just the essentials. Its compact size makes it easy to wear without the bulk of a larger bag.
Is Lavata leather natural, and what does “Lavata” mean?
Yes. Lavata is genuine natural leather. The term refers to a finishing treatment applied after tanning, which helps create a softer feel and subtly varied appearance. It does not describe a synthetic or artificial material.
Why is Lavata leather so soft?
Its softness comes from the natural qualities of calf leather combined with the finishing process applied after tanning. The result is a supple feel while retaining the characteristic variations of genuine leather.
Is Lavata leather durable?
Yes. Genuine leather can be highly durable when properly cared for, and softness does not mean fragility. Regular use and suitable leather care help maintain its appearance and feel over time. As with other natural leathers, prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat should be avoided.
Which colour is best for everyday wear?
Black is the easiest to combine with both smart and casual outfits. Cognac works particularly well with denim, beige and other natural tones, while beige complements lighter shades such as ecru, white and sand.
What outfits work well with a braided leather bag?
Astardo works well with a wide range of everyday styles. Pair it with jeans and a knit for a relaxed look, or with a more structured urban outfit for a refined leather accent. Black feels classic, cognac adds warmth and beige creates a softer overall look.

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.
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.
You have 2 weeks to return the bag without giving a reason.
