The Bridge & The Story Behind Leather Bags Made in Italy

The Bridge & The Story Behind Leather Bags Made in Italy

Leather’s popularity is rooted in its quality and sophisticated look. It has been known as a timeless and durable material and is often used to create items such as leather bags, jackets and shoes. Today I’ve decided to write an article about The Bridge, a well known Italian leather handbag brand.

The Bridge was founded by the Il Ponte Pelletteria Company in 1969. They are based in Florence, Italy and they use luxury materials to make high quality leather products. What I really love about The Bridge bags is their sublime quality and rare vintage touch of style that has successfully stood the test of time. The Bridge and their Tuscany made leather bags are present in numerous stores around the world and are considered to be one of the best leather bags made in Italy.

I have rounded up three of their products from their latest fall/winter 2013/14 collection that immediately caught my attention.

Personally, when I search for a new high quality and timeless bag, I prefer to buy a classic leather purse. A purse is extremely practical for everyday activities and with its timeless design it will never go out of style. For me, the quality is an important fact, worth investing in. A good quality leather bag is a must have piece in my wardrobe.

For the last item, I’ve picked a darker brown leather wallet that can hold your cards, banknotes and small coins with ease, a classic shape that never falls out of style.
