In Ancient Persia, the lion and sun motif symbolized power & vigilance. Centuries passed, and precious tapestries depicting images such as this were crafted and traded across villages, countries & continents until they ultimately reached Perugia, a small wealthy city that in the Middle Ages was known around the world for their production of exceptional textiles.
Today, several centuries later & against all odds, Marta Cucchia’s family workshop, Atelier Giuditta Brozzetti, keeps this ancient tradition alive. In fact, it was Marta and her colleagues that wove the central panel that gives this bag its name by hand on jacquard looms dating to the 19th century.
The “Leone” Tote was hand-sewn by the Romanelli family in the best suede and sailcloth canvas available on the market. The bag’s closure was first engraved by Master Engraver Jesùs Serrato, and cast in solid brass by Master Goldsmith Paolo Penko.
