Venetian leather purse
Click on the image to see the amazing colors and intricate
detail.
patterns: all are original, 100+ years old.
Embossing is done by hand in 24K gold.
colors: The colors are
mixed by hand and then painted by hand
onto the leather. There is considerable
variation between pieces of the same color
- some of the blacks look like a beautiful
navy or deep purple. Brush/wash strokes
are visible. Colors change a bit over time.
shapes: All of the shapes
are also original to the beginning (the
only thing that has changed over time are
the colors). The production has run in
the same family for 4 generations - these
are made by the last family in Venice still
to be doing this type of work. They have
not previously sold their work outside
of Venice.
limited production.
