Ghibli #bags
Established in 1968, family-owned brand Ghibli has evolved the traditional intrecciato woven baskets of Tuscan farmers into timeless bags for the everyday city life. What was once sturdy straw is now smooth leather, but the secret process of hand-weaving has remained the same. In particular, Ghibli uses the tubular method, the most luxury of the woven processes and one that allows to obtain single leather straps that are flawless on both sides. The bags have no stitching at all: they’re woven as one entire piece, and they have no lining either, impeccable on the inside as on the outside.

Carbotti found its perfect niche crafting classic ladylike handbags. The brand was born in the ‘50s in Martina Franca, a white-washed Apulian village where artisanal hand work is still valued and cherished. They have always worked with local leather suppliers, crafting every single bag by hand with traditional craftsmanship practices.
