Growing up, I’ve always loved carrying a backpack. It was handy, easy to sling on, and helped keep my posture straight. I would go to school every year with a different backpack and have this sense of joy. I don’t really know what caused the joy, maybe it was the new backpack, or the barbie cartoons on them but hey, I felt like a cool 7 year old.
And then, as I grew older, I still loved the idea of small backpacks! Of course, those with less prints (or no prints) and just plain, simple yet classy carry ons.
I am wearing my red maxi dress underneath a white fluffy top I bought from H&M. Let me emphasize how fluffy that top was.
1. Tell me a brief background of why you started Pelle Italian Leather
When we were traveling in Florence, we were just amazed by the quality and design of I Medici products and many other small brands, that were not as well known in North America. We decided to start presenting those here. We started by I Medici and now carry 2 more brands as well, soon to expand further.
2. Where do the bags come from, manufactured, and where is the product from?
I Medici products are made in Firenze (Florence) and Del Conte is made in the northern city of Vicenza.
3. What are the big brands that you carry on your online shop?
I Medici and Del Conte
4. Why should people carry leather goods, is it suitable for the cold rainy weather?
The I Medici products are suitable for any kind of climate. I have carried my own bags under rain, snow, etc. without any problems. The vegetable tanned leather used in the making of them is very durable.
This cute item from Pelle Italian Leather brought that feel back. Hence why we decided to shoot the photos by a play ground! Backpacks bring chic back to your wardrobe, plus it keeps your hands free.
