Leather travel bag
Leather travel bag
Cellerini
Cellerini has been making leather goods in a first-floor atelier on Via del Sole, in central Florence, since the late 1950s. Bags are the main work, and the workshop has always worked to order - every piece cut, stitched and assembled by hand to the customer's specifications, in the leathers and colours the customer chooses.
This is one of those pieces, in one of those configurations: a leather travel bag with twin rolled handles and a shoulder strap, sized for a weekend and proportioned to sit comfortably across a body. The body, in the image, is alce - the workshop's softly grained leather - in Tirreno, a deep marine. The piping and handles are alce in polvere, a soft dust cream. Inside, the bag is lined in cinghiale burro: wild-boar leather in a butter yellow. The hardware is gold-plated brass throughout. Two zip pockets and an open pocket sit inside the lining; a larger button-closed pocket runs the long side of the exterior.
The bag pictured is the configuration that lives in our shop. Every part of it is open to change - the body leather, the trim, the lining, the hardware. Once you order, we will be in touch to consult on the bag you want made.
Hand-cut, hand-stitched and finished on the bench in Florence.

About Cellerini
Cellerini is a leather workshop on the first floor of Via del Sole 9, in central Florence. There is no shopfront, only a small sign at the door; to get in you press the bell and climb the stairs. Once you are inside the atelier, the workbenches are the ones the Cellerinis put there in 1960 - long, well-worn, dressed with the same hand-tools, leather laid out across them as it has always been.
Silvano and Anna Maria Cellerini started the workshop in the late 1950s, in a small rented room near the Mercato Nuovo, doing restoration. The work was good enough that the Florentine families took notice quickly. Within a few years they had the apartment on Via del Sole, where they have been ever since.
Everything that leaves the room is made in it: bags, wallets, belts, smaller leather objects, cut and stitched and finished by hand from a careful selection of Italian leathers. Pieces are made to last.
Cellerini is exclusive to Australia at The Leopard.
