Its story

Art Deco-inspired works are often seen as symbols of modernity, progress, and sophistication, and this bag is no exception. It's a timeless and ultra-chic piece that plays with retro and modern codes, mixing traditional materials (leather, merino, silk) with more technical ones, clean lines, and complex patterns reminiscent of the early 20th century.
You'll enjoy caressing the soft and shiny wrap and admiring the texture of the full-grain leather.

I fell in love with this satin wrap, which I had searched for a long time without much hope because it was produced in very limited quantities. When the opportunity arose to acquire one, I didn't hesitate because I already knew it would make a beautiful “Nostalgie”.
The leather comes from a colleague's leatherworking workshop who no longer had use for the scraps of the leather it originated from.

I have a special affection for this bag model, its proportions and lines immediately won me over, to the point that I've made several versions, which rarely happens.
This one is actually the latest in pure creation (but this model remains available for custom-made commissions).

Pair it with the “En route!” Wallet.
