The clean lines and feminine curves of the Mini VERMANE bag are instantly recognisable. It takes our skilled artisan 20 hours to make a Mini VERMANE bag. All handbags are crafted by a single artisan from start to finish. This version comes with a detachable chain strap, so it can also be worn across the body or on the shoulder.

Material: Croco skin print on black calf leather from Milan, Italy. This croco skin effect on calfskin has been embossed exclusively for us with a heat press by the leading Italian artisanal tannery. It is the ‘caviar leather’ and ages beautifully. The natural characteristics of the skin make each piece unique. This is one of the most expensive calf skins you can buy and should give pleasure for generations.

Story

  • At the turn of the 19th century, Riga was burned down during the French invasion. A wealthy architect and gardener Anna Gertrud Vermane (Wöhrmann, 1750-1827) donated land and money to create park in the very centre of the city. Vermanes Garden Park was named after its founder and creator in 1817 by the Governor of Livonia Philip Paulucci.

  • Today the garden park has turned into a fairy tale with a splendid four season fountain, majestic stone lions, exotic trees, beaming lamps, and music. We were inspired by the extraordinary woman, and we spent many months working with our craftsman to perfect our VERMANE handbag, ensuring that it reveals the three things that we value – beautiful Italian leather, exquisite details and exceptional craftsmanship.
