Unique bags that bring together history and innovation

For 65 years, it has been a point of reference for Italian leather handbags designer brands that want to develop exclusive collections, through unique bags that combine artisan techniques with innovative technologies.

Sapaf Srl, which has established itself over three generations, is now managed by the Master Artisan Andrea Calistri, with his wife and children.

A family business that has always been courted by big brands: back in the 1950s, it manufactured bags for Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's and Bergdorf Goodman.

«Today - explains Andrea Calistri – the main markets are the USA, the UK, France, Japan and Korea where we also sell our collections».

With a highly specialized staff of 25, Sapaf is extremely in demand for its capsule collections, dedicated to discerning customers looking for unique items.

The same philosophy characterises the Sapaf Atelier 1954 signature line, like the Replica 1954 mini-bag, hand painted and decorated with gold leaf.

«We are a traditional artistic leather goods company – they say at Sapaf – but attentive to innovation: from the online store to CAD design, from computerized cutting to social media. Our history is the basis to project ourselves into the future».
