A women’s bag with authentic character, handcrafted in Tuscany by Chiarugi Firenze. Its silhouette revisits the classic saddle bag and evokes traditional saddlebags and leather accessories with a distinctly medieval-inspired appeal.
The bag belongs to the Old Tuscany line, a collection created with an intentionally rustic, retro, and vintage aesthetic. The leather features a deliberately aged finish, with irregular shading, lighter and darker areas, and a time-worn appearance that makes every bag unique.
IMPORTANT: THE AGED EFFECT, COLOR VARIATIONS, SURFACE IRREGULARITIES, AND ANY VISIBLE MARKS ARE INTENTIONAL FEATURES OF THE OLD TUSCANY LINE. THE BAG IS NEW, NOT USED, AND IS NOT DEFECTIVE.
Vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather
The bag is crafted from genuine Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather according to traditional Florentine artisanal methods. Natural tannins extracted from bark and plants are used during the tanning process, giving the leather warm, deep tones that are never perfectly uniform.
The leather is not covered with synthetic films, opaque paints, or treatments designed to create a uniform surface. Its natural finish remains visible, revealing the authentic grain, fine veins, and color variations characteristic of genuine leather.
With use and the passage of time, the leather will continue to mature, becoming softer and developing a personal patina. This natural evolution complements the aged effect intentionally created during the production of the Old Tuscany line.
Rustic, vintage, and medieval-inspired style
The design draws inspiration from traditional saddlery, with a rounded flap decorated with leather straps, buckles, and brass-tone metal details. Its compact shape and time-worn finish recall historic saddle bags and leather saddlebags once used for travel.
The warm brown color intentionally displays different reflections, shades, and levels of intensity. The rustic appearance is not caused by wear or improper storage; it is an essential part of the aesthetic identity of the Old Tuscany collection.

Old Tuscany line
The Old Tuscany line was created by Chiarugi for those who appreciate leather with a natural, rustic, and time-worn appearance. The bags in this collection are not intended to look perfectly smooth or uniform: every model has its own shades, marks, and distinctive characteristics.
The aged effect is created intentionally to reproduce the charm of traditional Tuscan bags and leather accessories passed down through generations. These individual features make every bag unique and highlight its handcrafted construction.
Chiarugi Firenze: artisanal tradition since 1969
