A Refined Italian Leather Frame Shoulder Bag
Lavinia combines the distinctive character of a vintage-inspired frame handbag with proportions designed for modern city life. Made in Italy from genuine grained leather, its structured 28 × 17 × 11 cm silhouette provides useful everyday capacity while maintaining an elegant, composed profile. A wide doctor-style frame, sculpted side folds and gold-tone chain strap make Lavinia a sophisticated choice for appointments, lunches, dinners and occasions when a structured handbag feels more appropriate than a casual crossbody or large tote.

Distinctive Doctor-Style Frame Silhouette
Lavinia's character begins with its sculpted frame construction. The leather body widens gently toward the base while the sides fold inward beneath the rounded upper frame, creating a distinctive silhouette inspired by traditional doctor and frame handbags. The softly grained leather adds natural texture while allowing the architectural shape of the bag to remain the focal point.

Bamboo-Inspired Turn-Lock Detail
A contrasting leather strap runs vertically through the centre of the bag, creating a strong visual line across the structured front. It is finished with a distinctive gold-tone bamboo-inspired turn-lock that provides Lavinia with an elegant focal point and adds subtle vintage character without overwhelming the leather construction.
Wide Frame Opening for Easy Access
The framed top opens broadly to provide a clear view of the main compartment, making everyday belongings easier to arrange and retrieve than with a narrow handbag opening. This wide-access construction is particularly useful when reaching for frequently carried essentials throughout the day.
Medium Capacity with Practical 11 cm Depth
Measuring 28 cm wide with an 11 cm depth, Lavinia offers practical medium-size capacity while retaining balanced external proportions. The interior provides useful room for a wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, cosmetics and other personal essentials, while the light fabric lining makes belongings easier to see inside the bag.

Elegant Chain Shoulder Carry
A gold-tone chain strap gives Lavinia an elegant shoulder-carry finish and complements the distinctive turn-lock hardware. The combination of grained Italian leather, softly gathered side folds and polished metal detailing pairs naturally with tailored jackets, coats, dresses and smart separates, allowing the bag to transition easily from daytime appointments and lunches to dinners and more dressed-up occasions.
