A&A, truly Italian leather bags
Anna e Agostina are historic friends, three years ago they start a great adventure and together they joined their ‘initials’ to create A & A.
Both come from years of experience: Agostina has managed for more than thirty years the family business (producers of leather products), while Anna has spent her life between trade shows, fashion shows and anything else that manages to help her to be always updated on the latest trends and techniques.
In addition to their great experience A & A can have the certification “100% Made in Italy“, received in 2016, plus A&A collaborate with highly selected Italian tanneries with CITES certification (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species).

This obsessive care for the raw material pushes them to use mainly the most external and precious part of the calfskin or pony, deer, python and so on; everything always high quality.
The models they propose are all original and designed to between the modern taste of the latest fashions and the Italian style that made us famous in the world.

The women’s bags are designed to be sober and elegant. Also A&A makes many variations for each model in order to meet the tastes of every woman, in addition to make them in various sizes to meet the needs of each customer.
The man line has made practicality and resistance its raison d’être. The pieces of this one are designed to be comfortable and useful both at work and during everyday life.

There is also a whole line of unisex bags specifically designed for travels; here you can find briefcases, business card holders, suitcases and much more. Furthermore, under the A&A brand, you can also find various types of leather accessories (belts, wallets, etc).
Unfortunately, here the space is limited so we can only make a quick excursion about women’s bags. Do not worry, given the large number of variants available for each product you will easily to find something to your liking.

FABIANA is a shoulder bag in karung and dark green calf leather. This is a two-compartment bag with a central divider pocket, closed with zipper, and easily adjustable thanks to the buckle. At the moment on the store you find it in two variants: light green and dark green.

This clutch has two compartments separated by a zippered coin, while in the wallet you find seven pockets for documents and six pockets for credit cards.

For lovers of hand bags we have two truly unmissable pieces: LUCIANA the half-moon bag! It is available both large and small size, the latter is perfect for all occasions thanks to the sinuous shapes and compact dimensions. This is a bowling bag with a zip and a single compartment with a zippered pocket. At the moment it is available in two versions.

ELISA is a much more generous Boston ba. This one is also available in two formats, although in this article we will devote more attention to the big version, just to compensate for the fact that up to this point we have only talked about “small” bags.
Its a rectangular bag with two handles and zip closure. As in the previous one it’s a bag with a single compartment but which a more hidden pocket with zipper. Very suitable for the daily use of modern women.
The bags of this model are made of braided calf leather or entirely made in perforated leather.
