Story & heritage

The pleated leather bag is one of the clearest ways the house applies its textile thinking to accessories. It uses leather, but the surface behaves like a printed fabric object — patterned, folded and tactile.

The official description grounds the construction: small bag in pleated snakeskin-printed calf leather, with resin handle and detachable narrow strap.

Materials & craft

Pleated calf leather creates relief across the snakeskin print, while the resin handle adds a sculptural colour note. A detachable narrow strap shifts it from hand-carry to shoulder use.

How to choose & style

Carry it as a compact colour piece with simple tailoring. The resin handle is the detail to show, so avoid hiding it under a heavy sleeve.
