Our Leather
All VESTIRSI bags are handmade in Italy from Italian leather
Our leather is LWG certified, which means it meets high environmental and ethical standards set by the Leather Working Group.
Pebbled Leather
Our pebbled leather has a beautifully fine grain and a subtle hand-glazed finish, giving it a soft, supple feel from the very first touch. Like all good things, it only gets better with time — softening and relaxing naturally as it becomes uniquely yours.
It is not water resistant but can be easily wiped down with a wet cloth if it gets dirty. It is durable and long lasting, making it the perfect material for your everyday bag.
Large Pebbled Leather
Our large pebbled leather is a thick soft leather with a large, oversized pebbled grain. Thicker and slightly softer than our standard pebble leather, the large pebbled features a matte finish.
The grain features obvious variations, making each piece unique. It feels supple to touch and is incredibly luxurious to use.
Smooth Structured Leather
Our structured leather is an elegant material which is smooth to the touch, featuring a fine grain.
With a semi matte finish, this chic structured leather is ideal for more formal styles. It is a durable material and features a thin film coating resistant to water.
Washed Woven Leather
Soft leather is intricately woven, then "washed" (a traditional dying process) by our artisans, in this time honoured Italian leather work technique.
Washed woven bags require an incredible amount of time and leather to construct. Our craftsman carefully hand weave every individual strip of soft Italian leather before assembling, resulting in a unique handcrafted work of art.
Soft Leather
Our soft leather is a supple and luxurious material, with a matte finish. Ideal for our luxurious woven purses, it continues to soften and relax with time.
More delicate than our other leathers, be careful not to rub against rough surfaces to avoid marks or damage.
Suede
Our suede is a delicate material loved for its soft, textured appearance and luxurious matte finish.
Suede’s versatility as both a luxurious and casual material makes it an incredibly popular material for bags, especially in the relaxed hobo silhouette
Please note special care must be taken with suede bags. Suede is softer and more workable than our calf leathers but also more susceptible to dirt and stains. In order for suede to maintain its appearance, it should be treated regularly.
See our Sienna Suede Hobo page for specific care instructions.
Raffia
Our High Summer Collection features Raffia, a chic resort style material inspired by summer, made from a weave of straw, carefully spun and sewn by hand.
This fabrication is a delightful addition to a spring summer wardrobe but can be difficult to clean once marked as it cannot be wiped down like leather, so be careful to avoid marking and exposure to dirt.
