An authentic women’s backpack designed for those who appreciate Tuscan leather craftsmanship, classic shapes, and accessories that become even more beautiful over time. This model by Chiarugi Firenze belongs to the Old Tuscany line and is handcrafted from genuine Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather according to traditional Florentine techniques.

Its compact shape, large front flap, leather fastening strap, and exterior pockets recall traditional travel backpacks and work bags. The warm brown color, brass-tone hardware, and intentionally time-worn surface give the model a rustic, retro, and vintage character that complements both everyday clothing and more refined outfits.

The Old Tuscany line was specifically created to reproduce the charm of aged leather. Irregular shading, variations in tone, slight textural irregularities, and small surface marks form part of the intentional aged effect and make every backpack unique.

IMPORTANT: THE LEATHER IS VEGETABLE TANNED AND IS NOT COVERED WITH SYNTHETIC FILMS, OPAQUE PAINTS, OR FINISHES DESIGNED TO CREATE A UNIFORM SURFACE. SHADING, COLOR IRREGULARITIES, SURFACE MARKS, AND THE AGED EFFECT ARE INTENTIONAL FEATURES OF THE OLD TUSCANY LINE. THE BACKPACK IS NEW AND IS NOT DEFECTIVE.

Genuine vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather

The leather is tanned using naturally derived tannins extracted from bark and plants. This slow, traditional process allows the hide to retain its authentic grain, fine veins, and natural variations in color.

The surface is not concealed beneath synthetic coatings or opaque finishes. As a result, the leather preserves its authentic appearance and may display lighter or darker areas, slight irregularities, and individual characteristics typical of natural hide.

With everyday use, the material will continue to mature, becoming softer and developing a personal patina. The aged effect already present on the backpack will gradually gain new nuances, transforming every model into a truly individual accessory.

Rustic, retro, and vintage style

The backpack draws inspiration from traditional travel leather goods. The large flap protects the main opening, while the central leather strap with metal hook enhances the model’s rustic character.

The warm brown color and brass-tone hardware complete the distinctive Old Tuscany aesthetic. The deliberately time-worn appearance is inspired by leather accessories handed down through generations and by traditional Tuscan work bags.

Flap and adjustable drawstring closure

The main opening is protected by a large front flap secured with a leather strap and metal hook. Beneath the flap, an adjustable drawstring allows the opening to be tightened and helps keep the contents more securely protected.

This double closure combines function with style: the drawstring adjusts the opening to the contents of the backpack, while the flap protects the upper section and preserves the model’s clean silhouette.

Pockets and organization

A practical flap pocket on the front keeps small frequently used items within easy reach. Two open side pockets provide additional space for everyday accessories.

A zipped pocket on the back offers a more discreet and protected place for documents, a wallet, keys, and personal belongings. The interior is fully lined and includes a zipped pocket for organizing smaller essentials.

Comfortable for everyday use

The adjustable leather shoulder straps allow the backpack to be comfortably fitted to different body types and clothing. A top handle also makes it easy to lift and carry the bag by hand.

Compact yet spacious, the backpack is suitable for city travel, work, walks, and leisure. It is practical enough for everyday use while retaining the elegance and distinctive character of a handcrafted Tuscan accessory.

Chiarugi Firenze: Tuscan leather craftsmanship since 1969

Chiarugi was founded in Florence in 1969 as a workshop specializing in handcrafted leather goods. The brand continues a family tradition rooted in Florentine leather craftsmanship, with particular attention to material selection, stitching, and finishing.

The Old Tuscany line expresses the most rustic and authentic side of Chiarugi production. Its creations feature timeless shapes, leather with a deliberately time-worn appearance, and details inspired by traditional Tuscan accessories.

This women’s backpack is handcrafted in Tuscany and is entirely Made in Italy. It is designed to last, accompany everyday life, and develop an increasingly personal character over time.

Leather care advice

To preserve the beauty of the backpack, avoid prolonged contact with water, moisture, and direct sources of heat. If the leather becomes wet, gently blot the surface with a soft cloth and allow it to dry naturally, away from radiators and other heat sources.

For cleaning and conditioning, use only products specifically designed for natural leather, testing them first on a small, inconspicuous area. Changes that develop through use are part of the leather’s natural aging process.
