Hemp Shopper Hand-Dyed Juniper

Description

Hand-dyed in our atelier, the Hemp Shopper is made of vintage Italian hemp fabric and vegetable-tanned leather — both coloured by hand in the same Juniper, the blue-grey of the berry, dark and resinous under the Mediterranean sun.
The dye falls freely on the cloth, settles where it wants. No two bags come out the same.
A generous front leather pocket, doubled leather handles, and a raw iron ring complete a piece that is built to be used — at the market, at the beach, anywhere the day takes you.
Part of the Macchia Mediterranea SS26 collection, inspired by the colours and textures of the Mediterranean scrubland.

Care

Vegetable-tanned leather is a living material — one that grows more beautiful with time, developing a rich and personal patina that no two bags will ever share. Wear it freely, and let it age with you.
That said, this leather is not water-resistant, and moisture is its most immediate enemy. If the bag gets wet, act without hesitation: gently blot the surface with a soft, dry cloth, absorbing as much liquid as possible without rubbing. Allow it to dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
For regular cleaning, use a soft cotton cloth with a small amount of glycerin soap, applied evenly across the entire surface. Avoid treating isolated stains directly with care products, as this may fix or darken the mark rather than remove it.

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 that is unmistakably yours. These are not signs of wear. They are signs of life.

Leather

We start with vegetable-tanned leather in its natural colour, then build the shade by hand — coat after coat of pure aniline dye, applied in our atelier until the depth is exactly right. The result is a surface that is alive: warm, uneven in the most honest way, and unique to each piece.

Hemp Fabric

Italy was once the world’s leading hemp producer — over 100,000 hectares of cultivation, a fibre trusted for centuries in textiles, shipbuilding, and craftsmanship. That tradition faded in the mid-twentieth century, but the material never lost its character. Coarse, durable, and deeply rooted in the land, Italian vintage hemp carries that history in every thread.

Iron Ring

Wrought iron is not a detail at Tagliovivo — it is a position. Every ring, hook, and fitting is hand-forged individually: shaped by hammer and heat, never by mould or machine. Each one comes out slightly different from the last. In a world built on perfect replication, that difference is not a flaw. It is the whole point.
