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 Soft Tote is crafted from tan Italian lightweight leather and is perfect for someone on the go. The beautiful leather mimics soft, luxurious calfskin for an elevated everyday feel.
To add a touch of elegance, the tote features a removable leather fringe detail with a single clear crystal accent set in gold-tone hardware. It also includes a matching mini pouch with a coordinating clear crystal accent in gold-tone hardware. This timeless tote comes with a dustbag and is Bay Area made.
Bag Leather: Designed in Italy by a fifth-generation tannery. Its luxurious look and feel is achieved through a vacuuming process that shrinks the leather to provide a smooth, polished surface that will continue to burnish and polish with wear, growing more beautiful with age. Natural leather characteristics are visible.
Size: Approximately 7.5" base | 8.5" height
Interior: Natural tan raw edge
Our mission is to design beautifully handmade limited edition pieces that add a touch of elegance to any personal style.
