Zipped Pouch Porto Cervo, leather, blue

About the Porto Cervo Collection

This luxury pouch made of calf leather and hand-dyed doubles up as a practical organiser for travelling as well as an elegant clutch bag at evening events. It is ideal for storing technical accessories for everyday items. There is an inside zipped compartment and an insert to keep travel documents etc. away from prying eyes. The inside is lined with a velour fabric, which stops delicate items from getting scratched. The zip on the outside, which extends around two sides, makes for easy access. There is a further padded, zipped compartment on the outside for additional items. The wrist strap can be removed, making the clutch bag comfortable to carry. It is particularly durable and acquires a characteristic patina over time. The edges of the leather are hand-painted in black, complementing the minimalist design.
The new Porto Cervo Travel Collection from Bethge combines Italian craftsmanship with a timeless aesthetic design. The items in this collection are all made from vegetable-tanned calfskin – a full-grain, uncoated leather that is crafted from top-quality hides using traditional techniques. After the skin has been prepared, the colourist dyes the leather using colour pigments. Similar to an artist in front of an empty canvas, experiments are made using different colour hues, essential oils and a variety of tools: Brushes of all sizes, sponges, cloths. The leather is given a slight sheen by treating it with a nourishing cream, which results in an intense, vibrant colour with varying transparency and depth that resembles a patina which is acquired over time and use of the leather in question. An unmistakable collection has thus been created, full of elegance and quality, with accessories that can be beautifully mixed and matched.
