Retro stylized travel bag / doctor's bag. This type of bag, called in French "Sac Voyage" ("Carpet bag") appeared in the world in the second half of the 19th century.
The bag is made of high-quality material - vegetable tanned leather of warm brown dye.
This type of tanning allows the leather to become robust and very resistant over time. The main feature of vegetable tanning is that the leather is not covered with a layer of synthetic paint, so the entire natural structure of the leather remains visible, which takes on identity and acquires beauty, ages but maintains its vintage charm.*
Bag is handmade by Italian artisans.

Brand history: Pratesi Firenze - is a family Italian factory, which began its history in 1948. The founder was a craftsman Egidio Pratesi, who began his activity in the world of cinema, creating leather accessories. One of his most famous commitments was the creation of leather armor for gladiators for the famous film "Quo Vadis", shot in Rome. Soon the Tuscan craftsman created his own artisan workshop.
"Pratesi Firenze 1948" factory has passed through three generations, and today Egidio's grandchildren continue the family tradition, creating accessories using ancient techniques, with their own style and unusual design.
*Attention! True leather has irregularities and roughness, and therefore can have darker tones in some areas, and lighter in others. This is not a defect, but the characteristic of a real leather, tanned with vegetable dyes, which adds to the leather a touch of vintage charm and true Made in Italy style.
