This, my friends, is the CM49 by Carla Mancini.
Look how beautiful this latch is! The turnkey style is an unexpected treat - usually you'd get a snap closure here, but not with Carla Mancini.
Notice the detail in the top of the latch, below. Also, see the minute inconsistency of the leather cut just below the stitching? That can only come from handcrafting, and I love that it's left in. This bag has character.
I love how this bag seems to glow with flecks of gold in the leather. Stunning!
