Florentine Chelsea

The Florentine Chelsea is one of the most organizationally complete satchels in the Florentine collection, distinguished by a center zip divider that splits the main compartment into two separately organized sections. The interior zip pocket keeps valuables secure in its own enclosed section, two interior slip pockets and the cell phone pocket give earbuds, cards, and your device their own organized spots, and the key hook keeps your keys in one reliable location. The magnetic snap closure opens wide, and feet protect the base when set down. With a magnetic snap closure, the Chelsea offers a structured hand-carry for polished occasions and a close-body shoulder alternative with the detachable strap. Italian Vacchetta leather develops a warm, personal patina with consistent use. No conditioning needed. A D&B customer notes the center zip divider changes everything for staying organized, and the fully structured two-section layout confirms it. A Florentine satchel built for the person who wants maximum Italian leather organization in a classic, refined form.

Vegetable-tanned in Italy, this full-grain leather is naturally milled for a supple feel and finished to highlight its depth of color. A signature of timeless craftsmanship, it balances tradition with quiet luxury.

Florentine leather has not been specifically treated for water repellency. Thus, the leather will temporarily darken when wet, and return to the original tone once completely dry. The waxed surface may assist in staving off some dirt. With continued use, a lovely shine or patina will develop, only enhancing the beauty of this leather. It is also characteristic for lighter colors to darken with use over time, and with exposure to light.

Minor abrasions may be removed or lessened with the use of a very soft cloth and a gentle buffing action.

This collection requires no creams, polishes or leather conditioning products to maintain its beauty.
