About 60km northwest of Trieste, Alissa’s family’s hometown, lies the San Leonardo region – famous for its Northern Italian red wines. The main village boasts only 129 residents, many of whom have lived and been a part of generations based in that region for centuries. The church that is perched in the middle of the village towers above the modest homes and was used for worshipping until the 17th century when it was turned into an olive press. Our San Leonardo handbag is a modern reflection of a classic handbag. Its envelope design defined stitching and removable crossbody strap and top handle all manufactured in our soft grain leather are bound to be a favourite amongst wanderers everywhere. The sneaky zippered pocket cleverly hidden on the back will undoubtedly become a ‘can’t live without’ feature, making easy access for everything from your passport to your favourite lip gloss. Featuring our BRAND NEW "W" cotton lining.
