Val Blanco
When you are looking for the ultimate in a leather holdall, you will want an introduction to Val Blanco. Inventors of the best selling bag. We love these bags!
Better get used to people asking, “Where on earth did you get that bag?”
The Alexander Weekend Bag, now available in for 'him' and 'her'. This stylish yet functional piece, made with Val Blanco's signature bold cotton lining, is the ultimate luxury weekend bag.
This bag is different from every other high-end bag you will find as Val Blanco custom select the top grain leather only from the outer-layer of the cowhide where it is thickest and of the highest quality. They then split the hide to leave a soft finish, very similar to nubuck leather. Solid brass 'antique style' hand buffered buckles combined with a durable dye gives the product a subtle vintage look.
This will age beautifully over the years.
Where did this style direction come from? This painstaking attention to detail and quality?
After struggling to find an affordable yet luxury leather bag for a close friend's birthday, brothers Charlie and Ali decided they would do it themselves. Using their passion for design they set out to create a timeless weekend bag that was accessible to all with hand-craftsmanship that would last a lifetime.
Val Blanco's first product, The Alexander Weekend Bag, sold out within weeks as it became clear that there was no other company offering such high-end craftsmanship at a fraction of the price of other brands.
By popular demand the brothers, along with their newly appointed creative director, Eleanor Bird, introduced new designs, all hand-stitched, using some of Italy's highest grade leather available. However, unlike any other company, the team took the bold decision to give the customers the reins to add their own unique touch to the design.
In addition to this, they decided to introduce affordable 'Gold Foil Deboss' personalisation to make their products the ultimate personalised gift for any occasion.
This completely unique approach was an instant hit and led to the rapid growth of over twenty designs as well as many custom-made products. This occurred in less than eight months as it became evident that Val Blanco's approach, offering direct access to some of the world's most skilled leather artisans at an affordable cost, was completely unique.
In recent times, Val Blanco's reputation for quality has been recognised on a national scale with particular recent interest from City-based firms. This has led to the introduction of a new personalised business range.
When you want something suitable for travel from London to Gleneagles for a quick weekend away, or a quick jet to see the Northern Lights, Val Blanco’s exquisite leather is a pleasure to take with you. For a gift that is sure to be cherished, this is a wonderful choice.
When you are looking for the ultimate gift for someone special, even if that someone special is you, this is just one of those buys.
