I share occasional updates from my studio, upcoming California art shows, and the stories behind my one-of-a-kind jewelry and leather designs — written personally by me.
The Black Italian Leather Strap Bag is designed for someone on the go. Crafted from classic black Italian lightweight leather, the material mimics the feel of soft, luxurious calfskin while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.
A clear crystal accent is set at the center of the bag in gold-tone hardware, adding a refined point of light to the design. The bag includes a matching leather strap finished with shiny gold lobster claws.
This versatile design can also be worn as a fanny-style bag using a 0.75" wide belt threaded through the gold hardware rings. The gold side rings are removable, allowing the bag to be styled in multiple ways. Each piece comes with a dustbag and is Bay Area made.
Bag Leather: Designed in Italy by a fifth-generation tannery. Its luxurious look and feel are achieved through a vacuuming process that shrinks the leather to create a smooth, polished surface. The leather will continue to burnish and polish with wear, growing more beautiful with age. Natural leather characteristics are visible.
Size: 8.5" base | 8.8" height
Strap Size: 32" measured from each lobster claw
Interior: Natural black raw edge
