We’re waiting to be seated at Dal Bolognese in Rome.
All I said was, “Great bag,” since I notice these things.
Allegra, means lively in Italian (and it couldn’t have been by accident), proceeds to grab me by hand.
Next thing you know, she whisks me down a narrow, cobblestone street and into a small-unmarked shop extolling the virtues of her bag.
Inside, I come face-to-face with some of the most beautiful embossed leather I’ve ever seen.
Now you will, too.
The Allegra Handbag (No. 3475). An Italian classic made by hand. Rich cognac color in finest 100% ostrich embossed leather. Two interior fabric pockets, one large zip pocket, and a silver ring for keys, which eliminates the frantic search for them. On the outside, self-fabric tabs and silver leather detail around the zipper pocket. Top zipper closure.
“See, Peterman, isn’t lunch more civilized at 4:30?” Made in Italy.
One size. (14-1/2” wide, 10-1/2” tall, 5” deep.)
Color: Cognac Brown.
