Athens becomes a little illustrated adventure in this TUA BRACCIALINI bag from the Cartoline line: a compact, slightly trapezoidal bag designed like a true travel postcard. The deep blue sky, golden tones of ancient stone, white columns and pink floral accents create a bright composition that instantly evokes the Mediterranean atmosphere of Greece.

The star of the front is an irresistible black-and-white cat dressed as an explorer. Sitting in front of the Athenian landscape, he wears a travel hat with large round goggles resting on top and holds a red water bottle between his paws. Beside him is a hiking backpack complete with small accessories and a map, making him look ready to set off and discover the monuments of ancient Greece.

Behind him rises the unmistakable silhouette of the Parthenon on the Acropolis, while the large word Atene crosses the scene like the title of a postcard. A heart in the colours of the Greek flag, stamps, a travel postcard, the word ATHENS, a gold-tone paw print and fragments of classical columns create a miniature travel diary filled with memories, archaeology and playful charm.

Much of the appeal comes from the layered craftsmanship. Several details are applied and raised above the surface: the cat’s goggles, backpack details, metal paw print, postcards and architectural elements gain a pleasing three-dimensional effect. Crystals, metal elements, embroidery and decorative inserts add light and depth to the scene.

The journey continues on the back with a more panoramic mood: the Parthenon dominates the Acropolis hill beneath an intense blue sky, surrounded by ruins, classical columns, greenery and fuchsia flowers. The bag therefore offers two genuine “postcards”: more narrative on the front and more scenic on the back.

The double black handles are attached to the bag with large gold-tone metal rings and fittings, while the matching gold-tone TUA BRACCIALINI logo adds a bright accent at the top. A black fabric shoulder strap, removable and adjustable, with tonal BRACCIALINI logos is also included, allowing the bag to be worn in different ways.

The main bag closes with a magnetic button. Inside is a practical removable black pouch with a grained surface, finished with a gold-tone zip and gold-tone TUA BRACCIALINI logo. It can be removed and used as a cosmetic pouch or organiser for personal belongings. The pouch also includes an interior pocket.

Cartoline Athens: an explorer cat in ancient Greece

The Cartoline line tells the story of cities through little characters and travel-inspired details. Here, Athens becomes the playground of a charming tourist cat equipped with a hat, goggles, backpack and water bottle. Around him, the Parthenon, columns, postcards and Greek flag turn the bag into a colourful illustrated souvenir of Greece, full of personality.

History and identity of the BRACCIALINI brand

BRACCIALINI traces its roots to Florence in 1954, when Carla Braccialini began creating her first bags in a city already renowned for its leather-goods tradition. From the very beginning, the brand stood out for experimentation, originality and imagination, developing a highly distinctive language within the world of Italian accessories.

Over the decades, cities, journeys, animals, flowers and everyday objects have become the protagonists of bags rich in appliqués and narrative details. The TUA BRACCIALINI line, designed and developed in Florence, brings this spirit into a more everyday, urban dimension while retaining playful and instantly recognisable subjects.

Since 2017, Braccialini has been part of Graziella Holding, the Tuscan group that has carried forward and renewed the brand’s creative heritage. The Cartoline line continues to perfectly embody one of BRACCIALINI’s most distinctive qualities: transforming a bag into a little story to observe, discover and carry with you.
