Otium

The Otium is a smooth black shoulder bag, the quiet one, the piece for the days that want a clean surface and a clean line. The Veluna is the pebbled one: a hobo with a grain that takes weather, a zip across the top and a soft body that carries a full day on one strap. The Otium does the lunch, the office without a laptop, the evening; the Veluna does the rain, the market and the long walk. Smooth against pebbled in the same black is two textures of one leather, not two bags competing. On a wet Tuesday the Veluna goes to work and the Otium stays dry at home.

The Otium is the smooth black shoulder bag for the days that want polish and a little room. The Alessa is the compact one: black pebbled leather, 29 cm across, a full zip and a strap that keeps it at the hip, for the day that needs a phone, a card and a key and nothing more. The Otium does the office and the dinner; the Alessa does the errand, the walk and the evening when a bigger bag would only get in the way. Smooth beside pebbled, both black, so the pair reads as one wardrobe. Saturday morning the Alessa goes to the bakery while the Otium waits for Monday.
