BERNINA SAFFIANO

Regular price €630
Tax included

Bernina Saffiano is a rigid men's clutch made from black calfskin with a Saffiano print. The structure is built around a double side gusset, which adds interior capacity without giving up the bag's slim profile.

  • The standout detail is the combination lock with a "watch-style" mechanism, in platinum-plated brass: beyond closing the front like a piece of jewelry, it keeps the contents secure from anyone who doesn't know the combination.
  • A retractable handle offers two ways to carry it, gripped by hand like a briefcase, or tucked away when you'd rather hold it under your arm.
  • Inside, lined in Moreschi's black "scarpini"-pattern fabric, it's split into two main compartments, flanked by a front and a back pocket for keeping documents, a passport and a boarding pass separate, plus a zippered inner pocket for smaller items.

At 26 x 18 x 8 cm (10.24" x 7.09" x 3.15") at its fullest, Bernina Saffiano sits somewhere between a document holder and a real briefcase: roomy enough for a contract, a thin tablet or what you'd need for a work flight, without the bulk of a briefcase you'd carry to the office every day. It's a shape you rarely see in menswear today, precisely because it covers such a specific gap: the days when a real bag is too much, but a folder isn't enough.

Anyone who'd rather keep their passport in its own case can slip Adda Saffiano into one of the two accessory pockets, where it fits easily. For days that call for a bag with a strap, Cervino Grain offers a roomier option to carry over the shoulder.

The name "Bernina" refers to the highest peak of the Eastern Alps, marking the border between Italy and Switzerland just over 4,000 meters up: more a crossing point than an isolated place, much like this clutch sits between a pocket accessory and a proper work bag.

Care

Moreschi leather accessories are crafted from surface-treated leathers, finished to provide greater resistance to scratches and everyday wear compared to untreated smooth leather. Nappa, used in the production of gloves, is a soft, untreated leather: more delicate to the touch, it requires the same care but with even lighter handling.

For routine maintenance:

1. Remove dust and surface residue by gently wiping with a clean, dry cotton cloth. For nappa, follow the grain of the leather with light strokes to avoid altering the surface.
2. For small fresh stains, dab — do not rub! — with a cloth lightly dampened with clean water. Allow to dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.

Do not use shoe cream, solvents, alcohol-based products or sprays not specifically formulated for these leathers: they can alter the surface finish or permanently stain the leather.

Store accessories in a dry place, away from heat and direct light, preferably in the original dust bag.

For more thorough treatment — persistent stain removal, rehydration or colour restoration — consult a specialist in the care of fine leather goods.
