Alessa

The Alessa in dark chocolate suede is the small soft shoulder bag for the fine day and the short list. The Veluna in the same suede is the fuller one: a hobo on a single strap, zipped across the top, with room for the book and the jumper, and the same nap that prefers a dry pavement. Both are the softer, drier-day piece; they divide the good weather by size rather than by occasion. Chocolate suede beside chocolate suede, one bag at two scales. Alessa and Veluna are the pair most often bought together in the range. A dry Saturday, the Veluna to the market; a dry Saturday night, the Alessa to dinner.

The Alessa in dark chocolate suede is the softer piece, at the hip, for the dry afternoon and the clear evening. The Versa Carryall is the working bag for everything the suede should be spared: the rain, the commute, the laptop, the airport. Black pebbled leather with a grain built for weather, 50 cm wide, a tote that becomes a backpack when the hands are needed. The suede does the short fine day; the Carryall does the long wet one. Chocolate nap beside black grain, two materials that never compete for the same hour. A wet Wednesday: the Carryall to the office, the suede Alessa dry at home.
