Soft Lavata leather with a naturally aged appearance

Italian Lavata calf leather is particularly soft and supple. Its special treatment creates a lightly crumpled surface and a subtle vintage finish. Small variations in grain, creases and colour are natural characteristics of genuine leather and contribute to its individual appearance.

The material is vegetable tanned using tannins of plant origin. This traditional method gives it a natural feel and allows the surface to change gradually with use.

Over time, the leather becomes softer and develops a distinctive patina. Its appearance therefore evolves naturally and gains character with regular use.

Vegetable tanning – information for people with allergies

For people who are sensitive to certain tanning agents, vegetable-tanned leather may be an alternative. This method uses tannins of plant origin rather than mineral-based tanning agents.

Anyone with a known leather allergy or contact dermatitis should nevertheless take their individual sensitivity into account. Vegetable tanning does not automatically mean that the material is suitable for everyone with an allergy.

Practical interior for everyday essentials

The cotton-lined main compartment provides room for documents, an agenda and a small laptop or tablet. A zipped pocket keeps valuables organised, while the open pocket is useful for smaller personal items. The front pocket and zipped back pocket provide additional storage for essentials that you want to keep separate and easy to reach.

From backpack to shoulder bag

BARI is designed primarily to be worn on the back, but the adjustable straps also make it possible to carry it comfortably over the shoulder. The leather handle on top offers a convenient alternative when you prefer to carry it by hand.

  • On the back for everyday commuting and travel
  • Over the shoulder for work, study or days in the city
  • By hand for a more classic way of carrying it

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.
