'1789' Medium Crossbody bag Black

1789 Medium in Black – Woven Leather Crossbody Bag

The Parise 1789 Medium in Black is a medium crossbody bag with a structured yet soft profile and a removable adjustable shoulder strap. It is made for those who value distinctive leather goods, clear function and a design that remains relevant beyond a single season. Its proportions and material details reward a closer look, allowing the construction itself to become part of the design.

The interior accommodates a small water bottle and daily essentials without appearing bulky. Removing the strap transforms the design into a clutch for dinners and events, extending its use from day to evening. The relationship between silhouette, carrying elements and internal organisation is designed to remain practical without concealing the character of the leather.

Italian Craftsmanship and Details of the 1789 Medium in Black

Parise's characteristic surface is made from premium bovine leather woven with 100% cotton yarn on wooden treadle looms dating to the 18th century. The measured rhythm of this process creates texture and small individual variations that distinguish handcrafted work from uniform industrial production. The bag is assembled and finished in Italy, preserving the visual identity of the Veneto-rooted technique.

Black sharpens the outline of the design and gives it a timeless, versatile character. The dark surface makes the handcrafted details easy to read and works equally well with restrained tailoring or stronger colour contrasts.

A zip closure secures the main compartment and an internal zipped pocket organises small items. The cotton lining, white-gold-tone hardware and protective dust bag complete the piece; any Parise pendant shown in representative images is not included. It measures 32 × 20 × 6 cm. The shoulder strap measurement is 55 cm. Approximate weight: 0.38 kg.

The name 1789 pays tribute to the year our wooden treadle loom was invented, marking the beginning of a centuries-old weaving tradition. This heritage technique, still used today, defines the signature craftsmanship of Parise bags, blending history with modern elegance. This reference connects the model's identity with the Italian culture and craftsmanship behind Parise.
