Since 1955, a unique Italian company L.A.P.A., located in Florence, Italy, has been synonymous with finely crafted hand-made handbags and briefcases. Natural leather used in creation of every bag has been processed with complete respect of both man and environment using only tanning extracts of vegetable origin.

Each item, created by skillful L.A.P.A. artisans, is handcrafted and sewn with very careful attention to details. Constant search for perfection, strictly established artisan methods, top quality leathers and accessories, combined with outstanding craftsmanship, make each L.A.P.A. article a unique piece of art!

Company name, L.A.P.A., represents the principles it stands for: 'L' for 'lavorazione' or workmanship, 'A' for 'artigianale' or handcrafted, 'P' for 'pellame' or leather, and 'A' for 'affini' or related leathers.
