A messenger in its classic shape: a flap that closes on magnets, two full compartments underneath and a strap that goes across the body. A 15-inch laptop in one compartment, the day's papers in the other.

Inside, it's lined in pigskin leather rather than fabric. The body is soft, so it stays slim when you carry little and expands when you carry more. A zip pocket and pockets for phone and cards inside, a front pocket under the flap and a zipped pocket on the back. The adjustable strap goes on the shoulder or across the body.

Vegetable-tanned, full-grain, made in Italy. Only 10% of the world's leather is made this way. No synthetic coating, no corrected grain, so it looks better in five years than it does today. Same tanneries, same makers, since 2007.

Full-Grain Vegetable-Tanned Italian Leather

We use certified, premium full-grain Italian cowhide, vegetable tanned in Tuscany by a family run tannery.

No syntethic coatings. No corrected grain. Just natural leather, finished using traditional methods.

How it Wears

Vegetable-tanned leather develops depth and character over time. It evolves. It gains patina. It becomes distinctly yours.

It doens't stay static, and that's the point.

Responsable Production

Our leather is a by-product of the food industry and is hand-dyed in small batches, allowing each piece to develop variations in tone and character

We use natural tannig derived from barks and leaves, a cleaner, slower process.

And that's deliberate.

Packed full of features you’ll love

Easy to carry, all day

Soft enough to sit close to you, on the shoulder or across the body. It stays slim on light days and makes room on full ones, with one adjustable strap and both hands free.

Two compartments, lined in leather

A 15-inch laptop in one, papers and notebooks in the other, both lined in pigskin rather than fabric.

Leather that gets better

Full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, hand-dyed one hide at a time in Tuscany. It softens and deepens with use, so it looks better in five years than it does today.

Your name on it

Initials or a full name, embossed by a master embosser in Sydney. A small mark that makes it yours, or makes it a gift.

Ready to give

Wrapped and boxed, with the option of a handwritten note. It arrives ready to hand over, with nothing left to do but give it.

Frequently asked questions

Where is this product made?

All Republic of Florence pieces are handcrafted in Italy by skilled artisans, using time-honoured techniques and the highest-quality materials.

What type of leather do you use?

We use full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather sourced from select Tuscan tanneries. This leather develops a natural patina over time, giving each piece a unique character.

What’s the difference between Classica and Opaca finishes?

Both are crafted from the same full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather. Classica has a smooth, lightly polished surface for a refined sheen. Opaca has a soft-touch, matte finish with a more relaxed look. Both age beautifully, developing a rich patina over time.

How do I care for the leather?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For deeper conditioning, we recommend a neutral leather cream every few months. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures.

Can I personalise it?

Yes.Monogramming is available on most items. Add up to four initials in the font and placement shown on the product page.

Do you offer a Try at Home service?

Yes — our Try at Home service lets you experience the product in person before deciding to keep it. You’ll have 7 days from delivery to see how it feels, fits, and works for you. If it’s not right, simply return it unused and in original condition for a full refund. Monogrammed items are excluded from this service.

What is your returns policy?

If your purchase is unused and in original condition, you may return it within 30 days for a refund or exchange. Monogrammed items are final sale (warranty applies).
