Acera Intrecciato is an elegant Hobo bag for women with a rounded, relaxed silhouette and distinctive artisanal character. Made from natural Italian Lavata calf leather, it features a fully braided exterior that gives the design its signature texture. Its curved profile resembles a crescent-shaped bag, while the woven leather recalls the aesthetic of iconic Bottega Veneta styles. Acera, however, has its own construction, proportions and character.
The medium-sized format offers a practical balance between capacity and easy everyday wear. It accommodates A4 documents and comes with an adjustable, detachable leather shoulder strap, allowing the way it is carried to be adapted to different occasions. The main compartment closes with a zip and is lined with cotton. Inside, a zipped pocket and an open pocket help keep everyday essentials organised.
The leather used for Acera is natural Lavata calf leather from Italy. Its treatment gives the material a pleasant feel and a naturally flexible character. Slight variations in texture, shade or fine creasing may occur, reflecting the natural character of the leather and enhancing the handcrafted appearance of the braided surface.
The rounded shape gives Acera a feminine, relaxed appearance while retaining an elegant presence. The all-over braiding adds depth and texture to the surface and highlights the craftsmanship of the design. The overall look combines the relaxed character of a contemporary Hobo bag with the distinctive appeal of Italian braided leather.
The leather shoulder strap can be adjusted to the desired length and detached when it is not needed. This gives greater flexibility in how the bag is carried and makes it easy to adapt to different outfits and occasions.
With enough room for A4 documents, Acera is suited to days when you need to carry more than just your personal essentials. It can accompany you to work, around the city or to appointments while retaining a softer, less formal character than a traditional structured work bag.
It is a good choice for anyone looking for a versatile bag with a more relaxed and fashion-led appearance than a conventional business case. Its construction is not intended to replace a structured briefcase or dedicated laptop bag.
The main compartment is cotton lined and secured with a zip closure. A zipped interior pocket keeps smaller valuables secure, while the open pocket provides quick access to items such as a phone, keys or other everyday essentials. The straightforward organisation preserves the useful space of the main compartment.
Why does Lavata leather feel so soft?
The tanning and finishing processes used for this type of leather contribute to its flexible feel and natural drape. Over time, the surface can also develop a more individual patina through use.
Is Lavata genuine leather?
Yes. Lavata does not refer to a synthetic material, but to a particular type of treatment and finishing applied to natural leather. Acera is made from calf leather sourced from Italy.
How is Lavata leather different from classic smooth leather?
Lavata leather generally has a more nuanced surface and a more flexible feel than highly structured smooth leather. Small variations in texture or fine natural marks may be visible and are part of its character.
Is the leather suitable for everyday use?
Yes. It is suitable for regular use. Like all natural leather, it can change gradually over time and develop a patina through use. Prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat should be avoided.
Why can individual bags look slightly different?
Natural leather does not have a completely uniform surface. Texture, shade and the way the material settles can therefore vary slightly from one bag to another. These differences are inherent to the material and are not considered a defect.
Can the shoulder strap be removed?
Yes. The leather shoulder strap is both adjustable and detachable. It can be removed when you prefer a different way of carrying the bag and attached again when you want to wear it over the shoulder.
Is Acera suitable for work?
Yes, particularly for carrying A4 documents and everyday essentials. It is well suited to a relaxed professional environment. Its construction is softer and less formal than that of a structured briefcase or business bag.
How can Acera be styled?
Its rounded silhouette and braided finish work well with both everyday and more polished outfits. Pair it with jeans and knitwear, trousers and a jacket, or a dress and smarter footwear.
Which colour is the most versatile?
Black is the easiest to combine and works well with both professional and casual wardrobes. Cognac and brown pair naturally with beige, cream, denim and earthy tones. Beige suits light, minimalist outfits, while green, blue and pink create a more distinctive colour accent.

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.

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.
