Women's Leather Bags: The Craftsmanship of Barone Firenze
Barone Firenze has been making women's leather bags since 1993, with workshops in Florence and a range of materials spanning nappa leather, suede and woven construction. Every model is born from precise construction choices — shape, closure, strap, lining — and is worn without needing special upkeep. The collection includes a wide range of active models, from structured pieces like the Siena and the Botticelli to compact versions, right through to leather backpacks. Materials are selected according to each model's specifications: smooth nappa leather for structured shoulder bags, suede for soft-format pieces, woven construction for those looking for a more intricate surface effect. The range spans from the everyday work bag to the evening piece, keeping the same construction standard across the whole line.
Siena and Botticelli: the Structured Bags
The Siena and the Botticelli cover the everyday leather work-bag segment — ample capacity, a rigid handle, a shape that holds up to intensive use.
The Siena is the reference model of the structured range: available in standard size and in the Siena Piccola version, made in Crust and woven Vintage leather, in bold colours — black, tan, dark brown, green and powder pink. The Botticelli follows the same construction logic and also comes in a small version, in the same colours, with an average 5-star customer review rating. Both have a rigid handle and adjustable strap: worn by hand or on the shoulder depending on the occasion.
Venere and Bologna Intreccio: Hand-Woven Crust Leather
The Venere comes in two versions: smooth and hand-woven. The Venere Intreccio alternates woven panels for a visual effect that breaks up the surface without adding bulk to the silhouette. Available in black, tan and dark brown. The Bologna Intreccio brings the same weaving technique to a larger format, in dark brown, tan and black — a choice that highlights the contrast of the woven texture.
Divina and Fiore: the Soft Shapes in Suede and Crust
The Divina Camoscio is made in 100% calf suede: three zip-closed compartments, double handle, removable adjustable strap, polyester lining and a zipped inner pocket. The bowling-bag shape in taupe suede and dark brown works with both casual and formal outfits without ever feeling out of place. The Fiore, made in Crust leather — available in dark brown, powder pink, denim and in a laminated version — is defined by its flower structure, made up of petals that build the overall shape.
Compact Formats and Leather Accessories
For those looking for a smaller format without giving up on material quality, the range offers several options. The La Petite in Crust leather is the most compact choice in the shoulder-bag line: roomy enough for the essentials, built to the same standards as the larger models. Pianosa and Pienza, both in tan and dark brown as well as other colour variants, complete the mid-small range with the same artisan craftsmanship as the larger models.
Bea Belt Bag
The Bea belt bag is made in soft nappa leather and available in black, dark brown, nude, tan, light blue and light yellow. The crossbody or belt-bag format works across different clothing styles, using tan or nude as the colour anchor point.
Pisa Backpack and Forte Backpack: Leather on Your Shoulders
The Pisa backpack is the city backpack in Crust leather from the women's line: roomy, with an adjustable strap and a construction that holds up to daily use without losing its shape. The Forte backpack, also offered in a unisex version in tan, dark brown and black, has a roomier structure and works easily as a light weekend travel bag too. Both pair well with Barone's leather jacket range — particularly the models in nappa or nubuck in matching tones — using tan as the common thread between accessory and garment. Choosing a leather backpack over canvas pays off over time: the nappa leather develops a patina of use that improves the look of the piece rather than degrading it.
