Laura Buccellati credits her passion for designing fine leather accessories to her grandparents, Mario and Maria Buccellati. Their impeccable style motivated Laura to pursue a career designing exclusive leather accessories for today's handbag connoisseur.
Preferring sophisticated designs over flamboyant, of-the-micro-moment trends, Laura features classic silhouettes for the debut of the line. The assortment features satchels, totes and clutches that offers an effortless transition from the office to an evening out on the town. "By striving to achieve that old world craftsmanship so rarely found today, we set ourselves apart from general handbag designers." The unparalleled expertise of the brand, meticulous manufacturing techniques, attention to detail and incorporation of raw materials ensures all products are handcrafted by skilled Italian artisans so not compromise fine materials including brass, palladium, butter soft suede and exotic skins including crocodile, ostrich, reptile and stingray.
"My passion for handbags began when I was a little girl. I remember my first handbag--a memory that's more significant than receiving my first kiss," says Laura Buccellati. At the age of six, Laura's father gifted her with a handcrafted calfskin carryall with engraved initials from Milan. An additional influence was her grandmother's infinite assortment of vintage bags. "My current collection consists of prized items owned by my grandmother. With a few dating back to the 1920's, I remember my grandmother dressing them up for luncheons to a night out on the town. I refer to them as forever bags, as they have no apparent signs of being worn."
With an elegant tradition of refinement and sophistication, Laura's Collection is completely Made in Italy and is measured as timeless pieces of art. "My handbags encompass style, class and balance. Surpassing mere function, I believe they should be more than a vessel for our belongings, but a reflection of our lifestyle" says Laura. "Each carryall is crafted as a heritage piece to be enjoyed for generations to come." |
