Casa Itaipava
Larger leather goods · totes, weekenders, briefcases
A medium-scale workshop in Novo Hamburgo, the historic leather capital of southern Brazil. Casa Itaipava is the only chrome-tanned partner in our catalogue — they source from an LWG Gold-rated tannery and we accept their leather because the construction quality on larger pieces is outstanding. Their unstructured tote becomes the Asunción Tote in our line.
