The Bridge & The Story Behind Leather Bags Made in Italy

Leather’s popularity is rooted in its quality and sophisticated look. It has been known as a timeless and durable material and is often used to create items such as leather bags, jackets and shoes. Today I’ve decided to write an article about The Bridge, a well known producer of leather bags made in Italy.

The Bridge was founded by the Il Ponte Pelletteria Company in 1969. They are based in Florence, Italy and use high quality leather and other luxury materials to make the highest quality leather bags. What I really love about The Bridge bags is their sublime quality and rare vintage touch of style that has successfully stood the test of time. The Bridge and their Tuscany made leather bags are present in numerous stores around the world and are considered to be one of the best leather bags made in Italy.

Here I have rounded up some of my favorite products from their latest fall/winter 2013/14 collection that immediately caught my attention.
