About the Style
The Florentine Small Messenger is a compact Italian Vacchetta leather crossbody with the classic messenger form factor that distinguishes it from every other bag in the Florentine collection Ñ a horizontal, three-pocket layout with exterior zip access and the key hook that gives it more organizational practicality than a standard flap messenger. The exterior zip pocket gives immediate organized access to frequently needed items without opening the main bag, the interior zip pocket keeps valuables fully enclosed, and the interior pocket gives flat extras a tidy separate home. The key hook keeps your keys in one consistent location throughout the day.
The Florentine Small Messenger wears as a flat, compact everyday crossbody that sits neatly against the body without bulk. Italian Vacchetta leather develops a warm personal patina with consistent daily use. No conditioning needed. A Florentine crossbody for the person who prefers the classic horizontal messenger form and exterior zip access over the standard satchel or hobo silhouette.
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.
