Arcata - Emerald/Copper

Design The Arcata is new for October 2026 and was designed to capture the small square handbag with our own unique style. The arched base is lined with a foil-embossed leather that adds structure and visual interest, clearly setting apart our bag from others that share the same basic shape. The magnetic clasp is oriented so the flap closes inside of the bag, maintaining a clean exterior. Details Emerald leather is one of our favorites at Uptown Common. Paired with the copper foil-embossed leather interior was a pairing that made immediate sense. The double saddle stitch technique features green and brown thread that ties the interior and exterior together. Every piece of leather is cut, sewn, and finished by hand. Solid brass hardware is used for the d-rings and magnetic closure Materials The leather for this bag was sourced from two different Italian tanneries. The Emerald leather is from an Italian Tannery, MPG Industria Conciaria while the copper foil-embossed leather come from La Perla Azzurra. German sourced thread, engineered for hand-sewing, is used for longevity alongside the brass finished hardware.
