Bolsa Nova, born in New York and crafted in Florence, Italy, creates the finest and most distinctive bags possible. Buttery soft and available in an array of vibrant or subdued hues, this brand is woman-owned and was founded Karen Cardoso, a NYC fashion industry veteran who worked as the head designer on dozens of handbag, cosmetic bag, and small leather good projects. She has an eye for what resonates well in design, and is also a mom who knows the importance of having a fairly priced luxe bag that transitions from day to night.
The brand’s collection of artisanal leather bags offer various styles and hues for versatility, including cross-body, backpack, slings, totes, mini bags and more. You can also find soft leather Bolsa Nova wrap belts and wallets on the Bolsa Nova website.
These handbags are designed in 100% full-grain leather, which is not as common as you may assume because a bag need only be 55% leather to carry the label. Also, 100% full grain leather feels remarkably soft to the touch and will age beautifully, like the Trevi Fountain, parmesan, a ’64 Barolo, and Michelangelo’s statue of David.
Some of the brand’s most popular designs are currently found at Free People, including their Mia and Viva backpacks.
The Bella Sling and Capri Sling are ideal for jaunting around Europe or Asia this summer, since Bolsa Nova bags are constructed to hold up well over time as a wise investment.
Bolsa Nova’s collection is thoughtfully curated to offer indulgent, Florence-made leather handbags that feel luxurious and that offers versatile styling options and reasonable prices. The hues are gorgeous, and the new Ocean and Pistachio colors are gorgeous. Detailed studding on these bags and high quality clasps and zippers render the entire line as exquisite.
