Premium Calfskin Leather
All of our leather bags are made with the finest quality calfskin from, arguably, the best tannery in Italy. Operating continuously for nearly 100 years, this partner is one of the most modern and environmentally safe leather finishers in the world. The leather quality - color, finish consistency, absence of flaws - speaks for itself.
Convertible Art Panel
The Convertible Art Collection bags feature a removable canvas panel, hand-painted by Virgil James' artists. Each panel is original, one-of-a-kind art. They are attached to the Convertible bags with the highest quality, polished nickel zippers. Additional panel designs and styles can be purchased individually (see Panel Collections) to create any look you want.
Italian Polished Zippers
We use what most designers consider to be the finest zipper in the world. Manufactured in Italy, they are expensive but worth every Euro. They pull like a knife through butter, with just enough, but never too much, resistance. They won't catch or tear. They simply don't fail. It's not difficult to get excited about these components which exhibit the best in design and industrial technology.
Custom Bronze Hardware
All of the zipper pulls are handmade. Each piece is designed by our artists, cast in ancient bronze using the lost-wax casting process,polished, and then plated for a bright nickel finish. Harder than rock, these pieces will last forever. Their design is intended to reflect each unique Collection.
Precision Carabiners
In partnership with the best US manufacturer of technical hardware for climbing, rescue, and commercial use, we designed a high-strength removable carabiner that is used to attach the hand and shoulder straps to our bags. This custom component is a beauty to behold - functional, light, easy to use, and classically stylish. Yes, simple can be better.
