A unique expression of heritage craftsmanship, this woven leather shoulder bag is created using traditional looms dating back to the 18th century. Entirely made in Italy, it combines historical technique with a soft, contemporary silhouette.

The leather is intricately woven on wooden pedal looms, a rare artisanal process that gives the surface its distinctive rhythm and texture. The result is a supple yet structured material that feels both rich and lightweight.

Its fluid shape and integrated handle make it effortless to wear, while the woven construction adds depth and movement. A refined everyday piece that embodies the meeting point between tradition and modern design.

The ‘1312’ Handlebag is named after the year the historic castle of Marostica was built, a charming town near Venice and the birthplace of the Parise brand.

This bag is entirely made in Italy through a rare and time-intensive process that involves weaving leather on 18th-century wooden pedal looms. The process begins with the precise cutting of leather into uniform strips, followed by the preparation of the loom with cotton yarn.

Each piece is then woven manually, a slow and highly skilled technique that requires expertise and precision. Once the woven panel is completed, it is assembled and finished by hand. This method is preserved by a small number of artisans and represents a living expression of Italian craftsmanship, where every bag carries the mark of time, skill, and tradition.

To preserve the beauty of the woven leather, it is important to avoid exposure to water and excessive humidity, as both leather and cotton yarn can react to moisture. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight should also be limited in order to maintain the natural tone of the material.

The surface can be gently cleaned with a soft, dry cloth, following the direction of the weave. Due to its artisanal construction, slight variations and natural movement within the weave are part of the character of the bag and should be considered a sign of authenticity.

The structure is soft and flexible, so it is advisable not to overload the bag in order to preserve its shape over time. When not in use, it should be stored in its dust bag in a dry environment. With proper care, the woven leather will gradually develop a richer patina, enhancing the depth and uniqueness of each piece.
