KANTARA VIVA is a small leather crossbody bag for women, crafted from Italian calf leather with a soft feel and a naturally textured surface. Its Lavata finish gives the leather a subtly aged look, adding character to its understated vintage style. Made in Tuscany, this Italian leather bag complements everything from relaxed everyday outfits to more polished urban looks.
The adjustable shoulder strap allows you to wear the bag over the shoulder or across the body, depending on your preference. Lightweight and compact, it is a practical choice for days out, city walks and travel when you want to keep your essentials close without carrying a bulky bag.
The main compartment provides space for everyday essentials, while an internal zipped pocket keeps smaller belongings separate and easy to find. A cotton lining gives the interior a neat finish, and the zip fastening keeps your belongings enclosed while you are out and about.
This small leather handbag is ideal for women who prefer a compact bag to a larger everyday style. It is designed for personal essentials rather than bulky belongings or A4 documents. If you need to carry paperwork or several larger items, a more spacious bag may be a better fit.
The Lavata finish gives the leather a soft, gently worn appearance with subtle variations in texture and tone. These details contribute to the material’s individual character, so slight differences may occur from one bag to another.
The leather is vegetable-tanned, and the bag is made in Tuscany, Italy. Lavata refers to the leather’s finish, while vegetable tanning describes the tanning process; these are two distinct characteristics. Neither, on its own, guarantees a particular environmental impact or product lifespan.
The adjustable strap lets you choose how you prefer to carry the bag. Wear it over the shoulder for a classic look or across the body when you want to keep your hands free. The strap is securely attached and adjustable, but it cannot be removed.
Choose a colour to suit your wardrobe. Black, brown and cognac are versatile options that work well with a wide range of outfits. Coffee offers a warm, understated shade, while green and beige-taupe provide alternatives if you prefer a different accent.
What can I fit inside this bag?
The main compartment is suitable for everyday essentials such as a phone, a compact purse, keys, sunglasses and small personal items. The bag is not designed to accommodate A4 documents or bulky belongings.
Can I wear this bag as a crossbody?
Yes. The adjustable strap allows you to wear it over the shoulder or across the body. The strap is fixed and cannot be detached.
Which colour is easiest to style?
Black, brown and cognac are versatile choices that pair well with a variety of outfits. Coffee offers a warm, understated tone, while green and beige-taupe add a different colour accent.
What is a Lavata leather finish?
Lavata describes a leather finish that gives the surface a soft, subtly aged appearance. Slight variations in texture and tone may occur and contribute to the leather’s individual character.
How should I care for the leather?
Wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the leather, exposing it to direct heat or using harsh cleaning products. Before applying a leather care product, check that it is suitable for the Lavata finish and test it on an inconspicuous area first.
Will the colour and texture be exactly the same on every bag?
Small variations in colour and grain may occur between individual pieces. These are characteristic of natural leather and do not necessarily indicate a fault.

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.
