COMPOSITION
Grape skin (made in Italy): 55% grape, 22% bio-PU, 23% recycled polyester
Metal elements: plated brass certified nickel and chrome free, made in Portugal (premium quality)
Grape skin is a premium material made in Italy with upcycled grape must recovered during the harvest. It is a recovery of waste.
Grape skin is very durable. The finish is a soft, textured and slightly shiny full-grain calfskin texture that is difficult to tell the difference with the naked eye (yes, we assure you!). It does not have
odorless and water resistant. It will not flake off in a few
years. It has all the properties of animal leather without the ecological consequences, it emits 89% less GHG than the latter. It was designed to represent an ecological alternative to animal leather.
The NY base is semi-rigid.
MANUFACTURING
All bags are traditionally made in Portugal by hand, in a factory that has been working with the biggest French luxury brands for 30 years. The bags have the same level of finishing.
The grape skin represented a small technical challenge for the workshop master because he works it in the same way as animal leather. We worked closely with the workshop to develop a perfect, high-end manufacturing.
An example: the edges of the bags are hand painted 7 times in a row (compared to 2 or 3 times for animal leather) and polished to obtain an impeccable finish.
The bags therefore take longer to make than if they were made of animal leather.
