Enjoy the Brand's Icon with a Casual Touch



As the name "Bamboo Handle" suggests, this unique handle made of bamboo was first created in the 1940s. It was born from the idea of Florentine artisans who, amidst material shortages after World War II, utilized bamboo that could be imported from Japan at the time.

The distinctive, segmented form was ingeniously incorporated into the design, with straight, rigid bamboo heated and shaped into a semi-circle to serve as a handbag handle. The lustrous finish, which highlights the beauty of the material, is truly magnificent. Thus, the bamboo handle, completed through the innovative ideas and techniques of artisans, became one of the brand's signature icons since its first use on a handbag in 1947.

New styles have arrived from the "Bamboo Shopper" handbag collection, which prominently features the brand's timeless icon, "Bamboo." The collection captivates with its contemporary silhouette exuding elegance, combined with the functionality for daily use, creating an urban style.

The soft calf leather body is available in sophisticated basic colors, as well as the deep, elegant pink "Dark Cipria," a Japan-exclusive color. A rich variety of options are available, including luxurious python types.

Despite its compact size, perfect for current trends, the wide gusset allows for ample capacity. With four pockets of varying sizes inside, the storage is more than sufficient. It can be carried as a handbag, or by attaching the adjustable shoulder strap, it can be worn as a crossbody bag. This allows for enjoying the brand's icon more casually and on a daily basis.
