When visiting Puglia, you’d be devastated if you didn’t carve out some time to explore this historic acropolis that swells with residents in the summer months. Locals say that their population increases 3x for half of the year, and it’s easy to see why, in this place that is nicknamed ‘The White City’. Ostuni is perched on a hill overlooking the Puglian landscape, and you would be forgiven for thinking you had just laid your eyes on a Greek island that had washed up on the Italian shores. The dazzling whitewashed buildings and European architecture are just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, when beginning to explore this beautiful town and her inhabitants. Cocktails are served with authentic Italian hospitality along the fortified walls of this remarkable place, and men and women call out to one another with a neighbourly and familiar banter down the quaint and yet busy streets.
Wandering through Ostuni with your slouchy tote slung over your shoulders gives you versatility to stop and write some emails at the local café or pull out your walking shoes to explore some of the many pathways and views that this town has to offer. With 3 internal pockets, including a zippered compartment to keep your valuables organised, the Ostuni Piccolo with its top handles, sophisticated curvature, relaxed soft leather and removable, adjustable crossbody strap is the perfect companion for a day spent outdoors on this ‘island’ amongst the olive groves.

All our products are made with the best quality full grain leather. This is a natural product meaning each piece is beautifully unique. No piece will be exactly the same as another and some may have natural markings and character that should not be considered a fault.
Our leather is the best quality full grain cow hide and is sourced from Australia and Europe. It is is custom tanned to our specifications using Italian techniques and products.
Our bags are designed by us in Sydney, Australia and shipped from our warehouse and flagship store in Sutherland in the south of Sydney. Read our story
Our leather is tanned and our bags manufactured in a family run factory in Pakistan. They are very proud of their skill with leather which has been passed down through generations!
Notes on colour variants.
- Our Azzurra full grain leather is a multi-dimensional blue/green colour. The depths and hues of the blue/green colour on your bag will depend on which parts of the hide are used to create the panels that will be used to craft your bag - meaning every bag is unique. Our Azzurra Colour represents the multi-dimensional blue and green shades of the sea, particularly in the Amalfi Coast areas of Capri and Ischia in Italy...forever our muse.
- Our Grigio Alpino full grain leather is a light grey colour. Grigio Alpino translates to “Alpine Grey”, and the colour reflects this name. It is a very light shade of grey and although it will reflect slight variations in different lighting conditions, the colour will not reflect that of white or cream.
We have endeavoured to provide web images of our leather products that closely match their actual colours but due to the differing colour settings of computer, phone and tablet displays, we cannot guarantee that the colour you see on your screen will exactly match what you receive.
Our bags are crafted with full grain leather (the best quality and strongest type of leather) and in their most natural state it is best to protect the leather using one of the many leather care products on the market. We like leather conditioner as it protects and conditions the leather. We have found creams and leather rubs work much better on our leather, rather than sprays. More about leather care.
You may find that good old fashioned warm water on a damp cloth and a gentle rub will get rid of any marks!And be sure to let it air dry! There are also some great leather cleaning products you can purchase and we have had some success cleaning off marks with an “authentic art eraser”. Pressing the art eraser over and over onto the marks sometimes removes them completely!
