About the Style
Inside the Alto Viola Bag, the divided layout helps you separate workday and personal items with ease. One compartment can hold your everyday wallet, compact mirror, lip color, and hand cream, while the other fits your phone, a small agenda or pocket planner, slim charger, and a folded reusable shopping bag. The zip pocket is well suited for securing a passport or spare cash during travel, and the additional slip pocket keeps pens or business cards in order, so the interior remains streamlined rather than overstuffed. This bag is ideal for days when you want to be edited and intentional about what you carry. Worn crossbody with the adjustable strap, it becomes a refined companion for gallery visits, weekend brunch, or sightseeing, leaving your hands free for coffee or photos. Carried by the top handles, it pairs beautifully with a trench coat, tailored blazer, or evening coat for theater nights and dinners, offering a sophisticated, structured accent that elevates both casual and dressy looks without overpowering your outfit.
About the Leather
Crafted from rich Vacchetta leather sourced in the heart of Tuscany, this material embodies timeless Italian craftsmanship. Smooth to the touch with a natural sheen, it develops a beautiful patina that only gets better with age.
Product Care
The Alto Collection 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.
