The micro top-handle, for what you actually carry. Phone, cards, lipstick, keys, one folded note — and nothing you won’t use. A structured trapezoid in Walpier Buttero calf that sits balanced in the hand, holds its shape without stiffening, and opens with a single quarter-turn of its solid-brass lock. The quiet presence of a four-figure top-handle, without the four figures. Cut and stitched by hand in Italy.

WHAT FITS INSIDE
PHONE CARDS LIPSTICK

  • Lining — cream microfibre with one flat slip pocket and a small brass D-ring.
  • Hardware — solid brass hand-plated in Arezzo; warm gold on Chocolate, palladium on Nero. Domed rivets throughout, no visible screws.
  • Strap — single rounded top handle, hand-saddle-stitched at the anchors; 7.7 cm clear drop. Hand-carry only.
  • Make — cut and stitched by hand in Italy.
  • Dimensions — 22 cm W at the base, tapering to 19 cm at the opening × 17 cm H × 9 cm D.

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Buttero is a vegetable-tanned leather: it will darken and develop a patina with use — that is the hide doing what it should, not a fault.

Store in the cotton dust bag, away from prolonged rain and direct sun.

Don't overfill. The trapezoid holds its line best when it isn't stretched.
