Golf ball pouch
Golf ball pouch
Cellerini
Cellerini has been making leather goods in a first-floor atelier on Via del Sole, in central Florence, since the late 1950s. Among the smaller pieces the workshop puts together are a few made for the round of golf - and this is one of them.
A small drawstring pouch in smooth calfskin, sized to hold three or four golf balls comfortably and to close tight at the top with a leather cord. The shape is the one the form has always been: a flat panel of leather, gathered at the mouth, soft enough to fold flat when empty and to take the shape of what is inside it when full. Hand-stitched at the seam.
It tucks into a side pocket of the bag, or rides in a jacket pocket, or ties to a strap by its own cord.
Hand-cut and hand-stitched on the bench in Florence.
Exclusive to Australia.

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.
