Heart of the Golden Renaissance – Gold Leather Heart-Shaped Bag
Heart of the Golden Renaissance – Gold Leather Heart-Shaped Bag
A sculptural tribute to the elegance of a bygone era, this gold leather heart-shaped bag is a celebration of the Renaissance’s golden age and the rich ornamentation of 18th-century Baroque design. Each curve, relief, and detail is carefully handcrafted to echo the lavish beauty once reserved for royal interiors and cathedrals.
Why This Bag Is Unique
• Deep Sculptural Relief: The front of the bag features a meticulously hand-shaped leather surface, embossed with baroque-style ornamentation up to 10mm high. Inspired by decorative plaster reliefs of 18th-century Europe.
• Rare Craftsmanship: This bag is handcrafted entirely by one maker in the Netherlands using a custom leather molding method developed specifically for this design.
• Limited Edition: Due to the complexity of the process, only a small number of pieces can be made per month. Each one is part of a micro-edition, created for collectors of wearable art.
Timeless Materials, Practical Design
• Crafted from premium full-grain leather in a rich gold finish, giving structure, depth, and long-lasting beauty.
• The interior is lined in smooth black leather, offering a bold visual contrast and luxurious feel.
• Features two compartments and a small interior pocket for elegant functionality.
• Comes with an adjustable black leather shoulder strap for comfortable day or evening wear.
The Craft Behind the Shape
Each bag begins with four identical heart-shaped leather segments. These are individually shaped, embossed, and assembled by hand—requiring several days of careful molding and drying. The detailed ornamental front is created without stamping or machines, making every piece truly one-of-a-kind.
More Than a Bag – A Statement of Artistry
This is not simply a purse. The Heart of the Golden Renaissance is an art object in leather—a story of craftsmanship, symbolism, and timeless elegance. It reflects a love for heritage, for handmade design, and for the enduring power of ornament.

PRODUCT DETAILS
THE QUALITY OF LEATHER
Our confidence on the quality of leather
Our items are crafted from the highest quality 100% genuine Full-Grain leather.
The Full-Gain leather that we have picked is a natural byproduct of the livestock lifecycle. After years of working with this leather, it has proven extremely durable and extended use does not destroy the look. Scratches and everyday wear and tear will blend in naturally with the look. A bag or backpack will easily last for 10 years! And even after all that time, they do not lose their vigor and transform into something special that is always with you. We have intentionally left our products unlined, showcasing the velvety soft suede underside of our hides. This choice ensures that your bag will be a faithful companion for a lifetime.
The leather beautifully complements a natural look that will undoubtedly impress. The more you use your bag the more it will acquire a vintage style.
We hope that our leather bags support you in your everyday life…
We hope that our bags will help strengthen that connection between you and the beauty of the natural world around us. We imagine your bag to be a companion who helps organise your plans and travels both in nature or in the hustle and bustle of the city.
