The history behind iconic Temi bags by Braccialini
Since 2003, the fashion house Braccialini has been creating leather masterpieces – uncommon bags, shaped as three-dimensional figures called Temi (Themes). These iconic bags turn into characters and objects: a Frog, a Peacock, a Snail, a Taxi, a Crown, etc. They have become synonymous with the brand and the most popular items in the collections. Nowadays, the Italian brand Braccialini is associated with fantasy accessories, and Temi bags are its perfect self-expression.

Temi Bags are a collection outside a collection, unique items, works of art of the Florentine masters that only look playful. “It is a common case, when it takes about two or three months to create only a prototype of a bag,” says the brand founder Carla Cecconi Braccialini, a labour veteran of the Italian Republic. Each of the Temi bags is handmade of selected materials and is shaped according to a method that requires the highest technique and knowledge of the leather craft: to create such a product, from 50 to 100 components are used, to say nothing of accessories. Very often - for example, when creating a Chameleon bag from collection 2014 – selection of the perfect material, embossments, leather dyeing, and shades require extremely long searches, experiments, and cooperation with numerous leather experts.

La Casina ("A House") is the first Temi bag by Braccialini - collection 2003
 

The idea of the first Temi bag La Casina (A House) – a bowler bag shaped like a village house with a red leather roof, a round door, and a flower garden – appeared like a "lightning strike": one morning, Carla Braccialini was making bags sketches, unexpectedly drafted a house...
The bag that became the founder of the iconic Temi line was first shown in Milan at the Mipel exhibition and was a great success. And its creator was listed as one of the most outstanding fashion masters in history. Nowadays every year, new Temi models are born – amazing and unique, symbolizing the Italian brand Braccialini.
