Florentine Small Messenger

The Florentine Small Messenger is a compact Italian Vacchetta leather everyday crossbody in the classic horizontal messenger form, with an exterior zip pocket, interior zip pocket, interior pocket, and key hook that give it more organized access points than most compact leather crossbodies in the Florentine lineup. The exterior zip pocket provides immediate external access to frequently needed items without opening the main bag, the interior zip pocket secures valuables, the interior pocket gives flat extras a tidy home, and the key hook keeps your keys consistently accessible. The strap gives a comfortable everyday crossbody position for all-day hands-free wear, and the flat horizontal form sits neatly against the body. Italian Vacchetta leather develops a warm personal patina with consistent daily use. No conditioning needed. A Florentine everyday crossbody for the person who wants Italian leather quality in the horizontal messenger silhouette rather than the standard satchel form.

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.

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.
