Expert Italian craftsmanship is central to this black leather SM 207 bag, which is small enough to hold your everyday essentials. It borrows from traditional saddlery and takes 15 artisans to make. The cleverly pleated sides, calf handle and minimal hardware make it a refined choice for the modern woman.
Part of the Max Mara stable, Sportmax is geared toward the younger urban style conscious. Deconstructed tops, silk party dresses and bold prints bring luxury at reasonable prices. Find them in publications like Grazia and Vogue.
