Luxury jewelry label Tiffany & Co is often recognized for its iconic bright 'Tiffany blue' that adorns its signature gift bag and it recently serves as the latest design inspiration. The brand creates a longer lasting iteration of the gift bag by replacing the usual paper construction with premium calfskin leather.
It is then made even more functional with the implementation of a top handle made from leather as well to give it a tote silhouette. The Italian calfskin leather elevates the design and additional elements include its closure. This area is informed by a magnetic enclosure with additional logo branding stamped in a black hue in contrast to the rest of the bright bag. It is offered in two sizes and comes with a shoulder strap.
