The regular Brigitte

The one to buy first. 33 cm across the top, 19 high, 13 deep, so it takes a tablet, a wallet, a phone and a small make-up bag with room to spare, on two top handles. The Pre-Fall 2026 versions come in black suede, cream leather, red leather and dark brown croco-embossed leather with the flower charm; the Resort 2026 black leather is the same bag at a lower price, and the black leather and silver from Resort 2024 is the silver-hardware edition.

The large and the travel

The large Brigitte, 47 by 25 by 17, is the work bag: it takes a 13-inch laptop flat, in black leather and brown suede. The travel Brigitte, 60 by 37 by 17, is a weekend bag lined in canvas rather than leather, with the same charm at the handle; the brand describes it as a stylish and practical day bag with a minimal and classic look.

The square and the trapeze

The square Brigitte is the small structured version, 18 cm wide with a 10 cm handle drop, in black and cream leather with silver hardware. The trapeze is the shoulder shape: 35 cm wide, only 10 high and 8 deep, with a 17 cm drop, so it sits flat under the arm; it comes in black suede and red leather with the charm, and in black and cream leather with silver hardware.

Leather, suede and croco

The calf leather is smooth and structured and the easiest to live with. The suede is the softest, and the brand lines it with a cotton, linen and polycarbonate blend rather than leather, so it stays light. The croco-embossed leather is calf stamped with a crocodile pattern, not exotic skin, and reads darkest.

Hardware and the charm

Gold-tone hardware is the default; the versions named “and silver” carry silver-tone fittings. The flower charm is a leather rose on a short strap, detachable on the Brigitte by the brand’s own description, and the crochet and velvet rose charms sold separately clip to the same handle.

Care

Wipe the leather with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from damp and direct heat, and store it in the dust bag with the shape supported. Brush the suede and protect it before the first wear; natural suede can transfer colour when wet.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the regular Brigitte?

33 cm wide, 19 cm high and 13 cm deep by the brand’s own measurements. It takes a tablet, not a laptop.

Which Brigitte fits a laptop?

The large, at 47 cm wide, and the travel, at 60 cm, both take a 13-inch laptop; the regular, square and trapeze do not.

How much is the Brigitte?

$3,350 to $5,150 on coveti, median $4,730. The square and the trapeze are the entry points, the travel size the top.

Is the Brigitte made in Italy?

Yes. The brand states it on the Brigitte product pages, and Coveti carries the line into the listing.

Is the flower charm removable?

Yes. The brand describes it as detachable at the handle, so the bag can be carried plain.

Suede, and when leather

Leather for daily wear and weather, suede for the softest look with the most care. The croco-embossed leather is the most formal of the three.
