Six work bags. Each made for a different kind of day. The one you carry depends on the day you're walking into.
Each one full-grain, vegetable-tanned, made in Tuscany. None of them finished to hide the hide. The leather you're looking at today will look better in five years than it does now.
Terra
For the daily commute. Slim and compact, but the single compartment carries the 16" laptop, the lunch, the water bottle. Our entry into the edit, and the bag most people start with.

Espresso
A design statement on the outside, an engineered interior. The surface stays uncluttered so the leather can do the talking. Inside, a central 16" laptop sleeve, two structured compartments, and a zip that opens fully so the laptop slides out clean.

Terra
For the people who don't need to carry much. The 14" laptop, a notebook, the essentials. Smaller than the Tokyo on purpose, also in red and green alongside the leather. The bag for when less is the point.

Terra
For the day that goes from the boardroom to the school pickup. A work tote that doesn't read as a briefcase. Two ample compartments, a centre section for documents up to 15", handles long enough for the shoulder. One bag, not two.

Terra
For the days you need both hands free. A leather messenger you wear across the body, not in your grip. Two compartments, fits a 15" laptop, same leather as the rest of the edit.

Pay only for what you keep. Returns are pre-paid and pre-labelled in the box. No questions, no friction.
Vegetable-tanned. Full-grain. No synthetic coating. No corrected grain. The leather softens within the first sixty days, deepens in colour through year one, and at year five looks better than the day you bought it. Not despite the use. Because of it.
Reviews here are dated by how long the customer has owned the bag. The leather speaks differently at six months than it does at three years.
I was looking for a laptop bag that was more like a handbag and had an elegant appearance but maintained functionality. This bag has exceeded my expectations.
My second Republic of Florence bag. The first I bought over seven years ago. Couldn't go past this size for the office. Simple but highly functional.
Bought for our son's birthday, a replacement for the messenger he's loved and used for the last ten years. Bigger, better quality leather. He's told us it's a superior replacement.
