A top-handle bag is the most elegant way to carry your essentials. Held by the handle or in the crook of the arm, it finishes a tailored coat, a simple dress or jeans, and with its detachable strap it moves easily to the shoulder. Every top-handle bag here is designed in Florence and Made in Italy. Every bag is handcrafted by skilled craftspeople from full-grain Italian leather.
The Navona is our signature structured top-handle bag, named after Rome's Piazza Navona and finished with the gold AF logo. It comes in smooth black leather, black textured leather, black honeycomb-embossed leather and white nubuck, with two compartments and a zipped pocket inside. The Trevi is a structured top-handle handbag in Full-grain Italian leather, 25 × 26 × 11 cm, in black, light blue, yellow and red. The quilted Alita is the smaller, softer option for evenings.
How to choose: if you want one bag for the office and the weekend, pick a Navona in black. If you like colour, the Trevi in light blue, yellow or red brightens a neutral outfit. If you need something small and dressy, choose the Alita.
