About Valextra
Valextra is a Milanese leather goods house founded in 1937 by Giovanni Fontana in Piazza San Babila. The name joins valigia, the Italian word for suitcase, with extra, and the house began with luggage before bags and small leather goods. Its 24 Ore briefcase won a Compasso d’Oro at the award’s first edition in 1954. Every piece is made in Italy and finished by hand with the black lacquered Costa edge. The logo is kept inside, next to a code that identifies the artisan who made it, and the flagship is on Via Manzoni in Milan.
“The Iside Patchwork Top Handle Mini Bag in Sapphire Blue and Blue Colour Mix is Valextra at its most typical: no logo, a clean line and the black Costa edge doing the talking.”
Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor at Coveti
