italian leather

when i think of italy, i think first of the

 renaissance architecture and art that line the streets and fill cathedrals. 

but when  i remember italy, 

it is the metallic leather bag that was handmade for me and 

the ostrich and dark chocolate brown leather medicine bag designed for drew.

 so, when i saw this video on j.crew's website today, 

my heart completely melted. 

i think about eugenio in his family's little shop on the cobblestone street, 

borgo s.s. apostoli, 

right off the ponte vecchio. 

i really cannot explain my love for florence.

watch this video- it gives you a little bitty feel of the 

grandeur italy possesses.

(i'll go home and take pictures of our bags later)
