Doctor W H.D. Horse Turquoise

The Doctor W is a compact yet distinctive bag, balancing clean geometry with an effortless sense of everyday functionality. Crafted from vegetable-tanned, hand-dyed horse leather, the surface reveals rich tonal nuances and a softly matte finish that will evolve, developing a unique patina with wear.
Designed to be carried by hand or worn crossbody, this version features a slender shoulder strap, adjustable through a hand-forged iron buckle and holes, preserving the bag’s raw, artisanal character. The structured flap and minimal top handle enhance its sculptural silhouette, while the vibrant turquoise tone brings a fresh, luminous presence.
The interior is fully lined in 100% linen and includes both a zipped pocket and an open leather pocket for effortless organization. The signature hand-forged wrought iron hook closure adds a tactile, sculptural detail that quietly defines the piece.
Part of the Spring–Summer 2025 “Rocks & Stones” collection, the Doctor W reflects Tagliovivo’s deep connection to material and territory. Entirely handmade, each bag carries subtle variations that make it a truly one-of-a-kind object, shaped to last a lifetime.

natural characteristics

Variations in tone, texture and shading are not flaws: they are the fingerprint of the hide. Over time, scratches will soften, colours will deepen and the leather will settle into something unmistakably yours. These are not signs of wear. They are signs of life.

Leather

The leather used for this bag is hand-dyed using a traditional process. We begin with vegetable-tanned leather in its natural, undyed state, then apply successive coats of pure aniline dye until the desired shade is achieved.

Iron Details

Iron accessories are a hallmark of Tagliovivo’s identity. Every decorative element adorning the bag is meticulously hand-forged from wrought iron, crafted one by one by skilled artisans. No two pieces are ever identical, ensuring that each bag is a true one-of-a-kind creation. This dedication to craftsmanship reflects one of the most authentic expressions of Italian heritage that we proudly uphold.

leather & hardware care

Water Exposure

Vegetable-tanned leather is not water-resistant. If the bag gets wet, gently blot the surface with a soft, dry cloth, absorbing as much moisture as possible without rubbing. Let it dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators, direct heat and sunlight.

Cleaning & Stains

Full-grain, full culatta and raw culatta leathers can be nourished with a soft cotton cloth and a small amount of moisturizing cream, applied evenly across the entire surface; note that it may slightly darken the leather. Hand-dyed leathers are best cleaned with a small amount of glycerin soap, applied in the same way. On polished leathers, avoid creams and use only a soft, dry cloth. On reverse culatta, use only a soft suede brush, following the direction of the nap. In all cases, do not treat isolated stains directly, as this may fix or darken the mark rather than remove it.

Conditioning

Use only products suited to the specific leather, apply them sparingly and always test them on a hidden area first. Avoid oils and waxes, which may darken the surface or alter its colour and finish.

Hardware Care

Our hooks, rings, and buckles are hand-forged in wrought iron or brass. Keep them dry, wiping them with a soft cloth after damp days. Over time, the iron may darken naturally, in harmony with the leather.

Storage

When not in use, store the bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in a breathable cotton bag. Fill it lightly with paper to help it keep its shape, and avoid hanging it by the strap for long periods.
