Florentine Handle Tote

The Florentine Handle Tote offers a compact, structured interior that is ideal for curated daily essentials. It comfortably fits a continental wallet, a small tablet or e-reader, a slim makeup pouch, sunglasses case, keys, and a phone, with space along the sides for a cardholder, hand cream, or compact umbrella. The interior slip and zip pockets are well suited to keeping smaller pieces like earbuds, transit cards, and lip products neatly in place, while the outside zip pocket provides quick access for items you reach for often, such as your phone or building pass. The secure zip closure keeps everything contained so the bag stays refined even when fully packed. Designed to be carried by hand using the top handles or worn with the adjustable, detachable shoulder strap, this tote adapts easily to your day. Carried by the handles, it has a polished, ladylike presence that works beautifully with office tailoring or dinner reservations. Worn on the shoulder or crossbody, it becomes a practical option for commuting, museum visits, or weekend outings when you want your hands free but still prefer a structured silhouette. Its balanced proportions pair just as well with denim and a trench as with a sheath dress and heels, making it a versatile piece in a thoughtfully edited wardrobe.

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.
