The public loves it, and on the website many variants are already sold out. But it's not just a matter of looks: the bag is constructed exactly as one would fold a tortellini.
It starts with a single square of leather of the desired size (the model comes in two sizes, regular and mini). It is folded over, just as one would do with puff pastry, to recreate the shape of the tortellini. Then it is stuffed, as if enclosing a filling, and sewn. Finally, the handles and closure are added.
The choice of leather is crucial: only certified scraps salvaged from the stocks of high-end fashion are used. This process, however, presents challenges, as it makes it difficult to maintain a uniform texture and color consistency. It is a compromise desired by Federico Cina himself, who wants to maintain a commitment to environmental sustainability.
In short, the tortellini bag is not just an accessory, but a statement of style and love for tradition. So if you thought fashion and gastronomy were two separate worlds, think again: this bag is proof that gastronomic tradition and Made in Italy can create something truly unique.
