Rita Collection: Italian Brushed Leather Handbags
The Rita collection brings together our Italian brushed leather handbags, available in five shades: taupe, chocolate, navy, camel and black. Brushed leather offers a soft touch and an elegant matte finish, designed to complement a professional wardrobe as well as a city outfit. Each Rita bag comes with a removable shoulder strap and is made in Italy.
This range of shades makes it easy to choose a Rita bag that matches your existing wardrobe precisely, whether it’s made up of neutral or bolder colours.
Why choose the Rita bag
The Rita bag stands out for its versatility: its shade and material go with most outfits, making it an everyday accessory that never goes out of style. Its compact size makes it a practical companion for both the office and the city.
Unlike patterned or glossy-finish bags, brushed leather stays timeless through changing trends, an advantage for those who prefer investing in durable pieces rather than fleeting accessories.
How to wear the Rita bag
The Rita bag fits in just as well at the office as in the evening. Carried by hand, it structures a professional outfit; worn on the shoulder thanks to its removable strap, it complements a more casual look. Its neutral brushed leather shade pairs easily with a coat, a denim jacket or a dress, making it one of the most versatile bags in our collection. In winter, it goes well with deep shades like burgundy or bottle green; in summer, it adds character to a lighter linen or light cotton outfit.
Brushed leather designed to last
The brushed leather used for the Rita bag is selected for its resistance to daily wear. Unlike more fragile materials, it keeps its matte look and suppleness over the years, provided it receives simple, regular care. It’s a choice made to last, in keeping with our commitment to offering pieces that go through the seasons rather than fleeting accessories.
A light, regular brushing with a soft brush is enough to revive its matte finish and remove dust built up over time.
Italian craftsmanship and a commitment to quality
Each Rita bag is made in Italy by workshops specialising in leatherwork. This artisanal craftsmanship guarantees a careful finish: even stitching, sturdy hardware, a durable inner lining. By choosing a bag made in Italy rather than a mass-produced piece, you’re opting for recognised craftsmanship and an accessory designed to last for years in your everyday life.
This commitment to quality reflects Sara Valenti’s approach: offering carefully selected pieces rather than a standardised range.
