Worn By Many, Loved By All.
Every detail is considered, every bag made by hand in Italy by our leather artisans.
Our story
Working in a high fashion environment of luxury beauty Public Relations, I was frustrated by my inability to find a well made, chic, black leather work handbag that didn't cost thousands of dollars. I needed to look the part, but I didn't want (nor could I afford) to spend $3000 to do it.
I looked high and low yet the offer seemed to be faux leather bags or overpriced designer bags, retailing for thousands of dollars.
I knew there needed to be a middle ground, for smart, modern women who wanted to look a million dollars, but didn't want to spend thousands of dollars to do it. For women that are smart enough to know it doesn't cost $3000 to make a beautiful leather bag. For women that don't want to pay for the middle men, mark-ups and the marketing budget designer brands funnel back to their customers through their inflated prices.
I knew there was a solution and luckily (thanks to my Italian grandparents) I knew where I could find it. So, with the knowledge that the best leather in the world was located in Italy I set off to my grandparents hometown to find the best leather suppliers and the most skilled leather artisans, in the hope I could create this missing "middle ground" handbag range myself.
Our mission
My mission was to make chic and functional Italian leather bags and bring them back to Australia for my friends and family. Years later we now sell VESTIRSI bags to smart, modern women across Australia and the world.
I made these bags for my friends; smart, successful women who appreciate style and expect quality, but know they shouldn't have the pay thousands for it. Each bag is named after a special woman in my life. My sister, sister-in-laws, cousins and best friends are all featured.
My promises to them (and to you) are below.
Our Promises
Our Heritage
VESTIRSI bags are made in Italy, the birth place of the world's finest leather.
This premium material, combined with handmade production by Italian leather artisans means each VESTIRSI bag is an exceptionally well made, quality product.
With Italian heritage, I had always been aware the best leather in the world and the most skilled leather artisans in the world hailed from Italy so there was no doubt in my mind where VESTIRSI bags would be made.
Our Craft
Luxury leather minus the markup.
I couldn't find a well made high quality Italian leather bag for under $3000 so in my quest to fill this gap, I have gone direct to our Italian craftsman but cut out the 'middle man' and agents to remove unnecessary mark ups.
Incredible value, incredible product. It's in our DNA.
Our Community
At VESTIRSI, we believe incredible things happen when women uplift one another. Women’s mental health is at the core of our purpose, and we champion initiatives that protect and empower the wellbeing of women and children across Australia.
