At Anna Paola®, we believe that a handbag is more than just a fashion accessory – it’s an extension of your personal style. Our collection of elegantly crafted leather bags are made in Italy by master artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations.
Our Story
The Anna Paola® story begins in a small workshop in Florence, where our founder Anna learned the art of leatherworking from her father, a respected leather artisan. After honing her skills for years, Anna decided to launch her own line of bags, infusing each design with her refined aesthetic and dedication to quality.
In 2000, Anna Paola® was born. Staying true to our heritage, each Anna Paola® bag is meticulously crafted in Italy using full-grain leather sourced from Tuscan tanneries. Our leather is rigorously inspected and hand-selected for its durability, softness and beauty.
While inspired by timeless Italian style, our bags also reflect a modern, feminine sensibility. From sleek, structured satchels to slouchy hobos and trend-driven bucket bags, each Anna Paola® design combines classic elegance with contemporary flair.
Design and Quality
At Anna Paola®, superior materials and impeccable construction are at the core of every handbag we create. Our full-grain, vegetally tanned leathers come in a range of rich neutral hues, from black and tan to bold pops of color. We use smooth leather for an elegant look, pebbled leather for texture, and soft suede for luxurious contrast.
With an eye for refinement, our expert artisans employ meticulous techniques to transform these leathers into timeless accessories. Using premium hardware and leather-bonded edges, they apply careful stitching, delicate topstitching, and hand-laced drawstrings. Decorative touches like pyramid studs, woven details, and laser cut patterns elevate each bag, while strong seams and reinforced stress points ensure lasting durability.
From cosmetic cases to convertible clutches, spacious totes to hands-free hobos, our versatile selection allows you to coordinate complementing Anna Paola® pieces for a pulled-together look. Each bag integrates thoughtful organization to keep daily essentials secure and easily accessible.
Authentic Italian Craftsmanship
One of our founding principles is a dedication to authentic luxury quality and Italian craftsmanship. That commitment starts with sourcing the finest leathers from long-established Tuscan tanneries. It continues in our small family-run workshop, where generations of expertise fuel the meticulous construction of each bag.
Staying true to our heritage, our focus remains on time-honored techniques rather than mass production. Our artisans hand cut each pattern individually before expertly assembling each bag. They use precision stitching to bring together beautiful Italian leathers with luxe custom-made hardware. The result is exquisitely made handbags that bear our signature quality and design.
We partner with local suppliers and tanneries to reduce our carbon footprint. And we strive for sustainability, utilizing every last scrap of leather. Our goal is continuing the tradition of expert Italian leather crafting for decades to come.
