I started sketching my dream bag. Every pocket, every compartment, every detail based on what women actually need in their daily life. Then came the hard part: finding someone who could make it at the quality I wanted. I sampled with factories in China and India, but the leather, the stitching, the feel, it just was not right. After months of searching, I found a small family atelier in Naples, Italy. They have been crafting leather goods for generations. I flew out to meet them, held the first simple in my hands, and knew: this was it. 100% Italian calf leather. Every bag handcrafted. No shortcuts.
