The body is expertly crafted from smooth, high-quality black leather, a staple of Italian artisanal workshops renowned for their durability and refined finish. Its most distinctive feature is the sculptural top handle made from rich, amber-toned faux tortoiseshell Bakelite, which provides a warm, translucent contrast to the deep black leather. This blend of traditional leatherwork and decorative resin was a hallmark of 1980s Italian design, often seen in pieces made for high-end retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue. The bag typically features a structured frame and a clean, minimalist silhouette that emphasizes the contrast between the organic leather and the glossy, patterned resin handle. it's in excellent vintage condition See less
