La Borsetta - Purple / Brass

Design The La Borsetta was our first large purse design. The design started around the front panel and was built from there, including the wet-formed gusset, top handle, and magnetic closure. Drawing on a classic silhouette featuring a top handle and faux buckle closure, the La Borsetta was designed to carry all of your essentials. With internal dimensions of 9.5" wide, 7.5" tall, and 3.5" deep, you can easily your phone, wallet, keys, and a book. An adjustable matching leather strap completes the design. Details The pebbled purple leather, combined with polished brass hardware was an easy choice. The double saddle stitch technique features Bordeaux and gray thread, a subtle detail that points to the quality of the build and the attention that goes into each Uptown Common bag. Every piece of leather is cut, sewn, and finished by hand. Materials The Purple leather for this La Borsetta is sourced from an Italian Tannery, La Perla Azzurra. This is a vegetable-tanned leather that will patina with age and use, slowly darkening over time and developing a shinier finish while also featuring a pebbled texture. German sourced thread, engineered for hand-sewing, is used for longevity alongside solid brass hardware.
