About the Style
The Florentine Medium Russel is a generously sized everyday tote with the interior organization to match its capacity. The main compartment holds a full-size wallet, a small laptop or tablet, a cosmetics bag, a compact umbrella, and your phone with room to spare for a folded scarf or a water bottle. The interior zip pocket keeps valuables like a passport or personal items secure and separate, while two slip pockets and the cell phone pocket provide reliable spots for transit cards, earbuds, and your device. The interior key hook keeps your keys accessible without rummaging, and the outside zip pocket is perfect for boarding passes or anything you need to reach frequently throughout the day. Designed for comfortable shoulder or arm carry, the Medium Russel is built for the person who needs one bag to handle everything. The handle drop works well across a range of heights and outfits, and the magnetic snap closure allows for quick access while keeping the main compartment secure. This tote elevates every wardrobe context it enters: carry it to the office with structured separates, use it as a reliable carry-on for weekend trips and day excursions, or pair it with relaxed weekend layers for an effortlessly refined look. The supple Florentine leather develops a beautiful patina over time, making it a bag that improves with every wear.
About the Leather
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.
Product Care
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.
reviews
The simplicity of the leather lends this bag a classic feel, and giving attention and focus to the leather. Scratches are easily rubbed off with a soft cloth and some leather conditioner.
