Compact, refined, and effortlessly versatile, this woven leather crossbody bag is entirely crafted in Italy using traditional loom techniques. Its clean, minimal silhouette is enriched by the intricate woven texture, created by interlacing fine leather strips with precision and care.

The result is a soft yet durable structure that feels lightweight while maintaining a refined presence. The adjustable shoulder strap allows for comfortable everyday wear, while the zip closure ensures practicality without compromising elegance.

Perfect for day-to-evening use, this bag embodies a modern interpretation of Italian craftsmanship — where artisanal heritage meets functional design.

The name 1789 pays tribute to the year our wooden treadle loom was invented, marking the beginning of a centuries-old weaving tradition. This heritage technique, still used today, defines the signature craftsmanship of Parise bags, blending history with modern elegance.

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.
