The Bowling L is a bag built for the long haul — generous in size, uncompromising in material, and entirely at ease whether carried to work or taken on the road. Unisex in spirit and sculptural in presence, it is one of Tagliovivo’s most grounded pieces.
The body is crafted from raw vegetable-tanned horse culatta, grain side out, its surface shifting between deep black, cool graphite, and faint traces of petrol where the light catches the hide. The front patch pocket is made from the same culatta in its reverse — the inner side of the hide, left raw and unfinished, with its distinctive velvety, almost cartilaginous texture. The contrast between the two surfaces, drawn from the same material yet utterly different in character, makes every bag a study in material honesty.
The double zip closure runs the full length of the top, ensuring security without sacrificing ease. The interior is fully lined in 100% natural linen and includes a zipped pocket for essentials.
Part of the SS26 Macchia Mediterranea collection, the Bowling L carries the spirit of the southern landscape — raw, layered, and shaped by time. Entirely handmade, no two bags are ever identical. Built to last a lifetime, and to look better for every year of it.

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.
details
Raw horse culatta, grain side out, left unfinished and untreated — and its reverse, velvety and open, used for the front patch pocket. Two faces of the same material, each with its own texture and depth. In black, the surface shifts between charcoal, graphite, and faint traces of petrol, never settling into a single tone.
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.
