"This is all hand painted. So after this cow hide is embossed to create this croco effect, then it's hand stained and hand painted to create that beautiful texturization. These craftsmen that live in Tuscany, they know what they're doing. So what you're really getting is a slice of luxury at an affordable price." --Designer Charlie Lapson

Bold hardware and elegant embossing makes this your signature piece. And extra-special style is added with the braided detailing. Equally appropriate with tailored clothing or your favorite jeans, the versatility makes this an extra-special value.
