Description

The Ravello is cut from genuine cowhide with the natural creases and lines left in, so it arrives looking like a genuine antique rather than a new bag pretending to be one.

The leather is soft in the hand but tough enough for daily wear. It is light for its capacity and takes tablets, laptops, books and the rest without complaint.

This is the most characterful hide in the range. No two are the same, and the marks that came with the animal are part of what you are buying rather than a flaw in it.

  • Genuine full grain cowhide with natural markings
  • Soft handle, durable in daily use
  • Fits tablets, laptops and books
  • Lightweight for its capacity
  • Every hide unique

The plainest version of the shape

The plainest version of the shape

No front pocket, no extra straps, nothing on the outside. Just a flap, a drawstring and two buckles. If the Lucerra is the detailed one, this is the quiet one, and quiet ages better than detailed.
The finish carries it

The finish carries it

With nothing on the outside to look at, the leather has to do all the work. The weathered wax finish is why it does: depth, variation and a surface that changes under a thumb.
It gets better with nothing added

It gets better with nothing added

Because there is no hardware to dull and no pocket to fray, everything that changes about this bag is the leather itself. Darker, softer, more uneven. Nothing else moves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a laptop sleeve?
There is a sleeve inside. The padding is light, so use a case if you are hard on machines.

Are there any outside pockets?
No. That is the point of this one. For a front pocket, look at the Lucerra.

How does the closure work?
A drawstring pulls the opening closed and the flap buckles over the top.

Will scratches show?
They will, and then they will rub back out. That is what the waxed finish does.

Is it a full day bag?
Yes. A laptop, a jacket, a notebook and lunch.

What leather do you use?

Full grain leather, the top layer of the hide, left unsanded so the natural grain stays intact. Several pieces use Crazy Horse leather, a waxed full grain finish that scratches into a patina rather than out of one.

Will the leather change over time?

Yes, and that is the point. Full grain darkens, softens and develops a patina shaped by how you carry it. No two pieces age the same way.

How do I care for it?

Keep it dry, wipe it with a soft cloth, and condition it two or three times a year. Store it out of direct sunlight. Avoid soaking it, and if it does get wet let it dry at room temperature rather than near heat.

How do I choose the right size?

Each listing says what the piece is built to carry, including laptop sizes where they apply. Compare that against the bag you use now, since it is a more reliable guide than a size label. If you are between two options, message us with what you carry and we will tell you which one fits.

Is the leather treated or sealed?

Only lightly. Heavy sealing is what stops leather from ageing, so the surface is left open enough to absorb oils from your hands and darken over time. That does mean it is not waterproof. Keep it out of standing water, and if it does get wet let it dry at room temperature.

Will the colour match the photographs?

Closely, but not exactly. Full grain leather takes dye differently across the hide, so tone and grain shift slightly from piece to piece, and screens render colour differently again. Treat the photographs as an honest guide rather than a swatch. That variation is a property of real leather, not a fault.
