About the Style
The Florentine Charleston offers the same generous tote capacity as the Pebble Grain Charleston but elevates the experience through its supple Italian Vacchetta leather, which develops a natural patina with every wear. Inside, the main compartment fits a continental wallet, a compact tablet, a cosmetics case, and your phone, with two slip pockets, a cell phone pocket, and a key hook keeping the interior consistently organized. The exterior zip pocket provides quick access for transit passes or frequent-reach items, and the zip closure keeps the main compartment securely closed.
This is the version of the Charleston for someone who wants the same reliable silhouette with a material that rewards long-term ownership. Florentine leather starts supple and becomes more characterful and personal over time, developing a warm, individual patina that no two bags share. The tote carries well over the arm or against the shoulder with the shorter strap. It suits office commutes, weekend errand days, carry-on travel, and casual social outings with equal confidence, and pairs effortlessly with both structured professional looks and relaxed everyday layers.
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.
