SCUOLA DEL CUOIO -- PART 1



THE LEATHER SCHOOL IN FLORENCE'S
HISTORIC BASILICA SANTA CROCE

By HJW

Every woman wants one: dreams of it, yearns for it. 

At times, it dances about in the periphery of the mind, a bit like Percival’s perpetual longing for the Holy Grail.

I’m talking about the Kelly bag: the crowing glory of every woman’s handbag collection. 

When you see a woman carrying one, you don’t have to wonder if she’s got a Designer A fabric mini-hobo or a Designer B microfiber mid-size shopper.

A Kelly bag is iconic.

Unmistakable. 

Gorgeous.

It implies good taste and an appreciation for the finer things, regardless of your socioeconomic status.

For the men reading this, it’s analogous to the payoff you get after years of saving up for that vintage Aston Martin.

The dreaminess when studying the chassis; the contentment sitting in the driver’s seat.
