Description

The Rialto is mature in shape and straightforward in function. Part shoulder bag, part briefcase, and comfortable enough to carry either way for a full day.

It secures a laptop up to 14 inches along with files, cables and everything else that travels with it. The body is stiff enough to protect what is inside when the bag gets put down harder than intended.

The vintage finish means it does not look new for long, which is the intention. Within a season it will look like a bag that belongs to someone who has been doing this a while.

  • High grade full grain leather
  • Fits laptops up to 14 inches
  • Structured body for device protection
  • Shoulder strap and top handle
  • Vintage finish that ages quickly

The laptop sits off the floor

The laptop sits off the floor

The padded section is built so a machine does not rest against the base of the bag. Set the case down hard and the impact goes into the leather rather than into your laptop. It is a small structural decision that matters the one time it matters.
Formal without being fussy

Formal without being fussy

The vintage finish keeps it from reading as corporate, and the structure keeps it from reading as casual. That is a narrow target and it is exactly where a laptop case should sit.
It gets better in the places you touch

It gets better in the places you touch

Handle, flap edge, the corner you grab to lift it into a car. Those darken first and fastest. Within a year the wear pattern on the bag is a map of how you carry it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size laptop fits?

Up to 15 inches in the padded section, with a 16 inch fitting snugly.

Does it hold papers flat?

Yes, A4 documents lie flat without bending in a corner.

Is the shoulder strap included?

Yes, and it is removable.

Is it stiff?

Structured, deliberately. It stands on its own and protects what is inside.

How is it different from the Ferrini?

The Ferrini is the general vintage briefcase. The Rialto is built specifically around a laptop.

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.
