Drawing on centuries of bookbinding tradition, each Pride and Prejudice Clutch is painted, stamped, and bound by artesan bookbinders based in Palazzo Marigliano, Naples. 

Each piece of leather used is unique, and so
no two bags are exactly alike. The leather's natural grain means dyes adhere in unique ways, and gold leaf bleeds from the edges of the letters embossed on the cover.

Natural markings and tiny imperfections are a mark of the Italian bookbinder's unique hand-manufacturing process.
