ARGO is a large women's shopper-style shoulder bag made from soft Italian Lavata calfskin. It combines a simple, timeless shape with functionality that makes it ideal for everyday use. The spacious main compartment holds A4 documents and other essentials, while the zip closure helps keep the contents secure. The long handles make it comfortable to carry the bag on your shoulder, even over thick clothing.
Its distinctive feature is the ability to adjust its shape using an internal strap. When you need more space, you can use the full shopper shape. When you are carrying fewer items, simply adjust the strap to give the bag a narrower, more compact look. The detachable, adjustable shoulder strap provides additional carrying options. The soft leather with a subtly distressed texture gives the model a vintage character that pairs well with both everyday and more elegant outfits.
The bag is made from Italian Lavata calfskin, also known as washed leather. After tanning, the leather undergoes a special washing and softening process. This makes it exceptionally soft and flexible, while its surface develops a distinctive, slightly irregular texture.
Subtle creases and natural variations in shade give the leather a slightly aged appearance. These are not flaws in the material, but rather characteristic features that highlight the unique character of each bag. Lavata is perfectly suited to relaxed-shaped models, where the natural texture of the leather is an important stylistic element.
The interior of the bag is finished with a cotton lining. Three pockets help keep small items organized and separate from the main contents. One pocket zips shut, while the other two remain open, providing quick access to your phone, keys, or other frequently used accessories.
How should I care for a leather bag to keep it soft for as long as possible?
A soft, dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient for regular dusting. Every so often, it is worth using a high-quality colorless cream or balm designed for genuine leather. Before using any product, test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the material.
What should I do if my Lavata leather bag gets wet in the rain?
Gently blot away any moisture with a clean, soft cloth without rubbing the surface. It is best to leave the bag to air-dry naturally at room temperature. Do not dry it on a radiator, near a heater, or with a hairdryer, as intense heat can negatively affect the condition of the leather.
How should I store a leather bag when it is not in use?
It is best to place it in a breathable cotton dust bag and store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. To help preserve its original shape, you can gently fill the interior with paper. Do not store genuine leather in airtight plastic packaging.
Can I use regular leather bag care products on Lavata leather?
It is best to choose products designed for genuine leather that do not leave a heavy layer on the surface. Colorless creams and nourishing balms work particularly well. Avoid harsh cleaning agents and products with unknown ingredients, as they may alter the color or texture of the material.

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.
