Meet Our Newest Paper Type: Vacchetta

The new kid on the block this season; smooth, rich & luxurious feeling.

For the ’23-'24 Fall/Winter season, we introduced a range of new products and perhaps most exciting, a new paper type. Many of our new (and existing favorite) products have been created in this new paper called Vacchetta, which features a new type of finish to it. So, what exactly is the Vacchetta paper? We are excited to introduce you to this new, long lasting, innovative material, and who better than our founder, Marco Marconi, to describe this new material:

"VACCHETTA", WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

“It is a traditional process of vegetable-tanned leather applied to paper. The processing of our material involves the use of water in a continuous cycle to avoid waste.”

WHAT DOES THIS PROCESS ACTUALLY CONSIST OF?

"It consists of coloring the paper by hand with a sponge, enhancing its naturalness. The paper is colored using vegetable colors and wax in the absence of water. One thing is certain, we can say that we have elevated our material even further."

HOW DOES VACCHETTA DIFFER FROM YOUR OTHER PAPERS?

The Vacchetta paper has a richer tonality to it. More depth to the colors and slightly thicker than our basic paper. The Vacchetta paper doesn’t have a sheen that reflects light but does have a very “finished” and smooth feel and isn’t as fibrous on the finish as the basic paper.

WHAT COLORS ARE OFFERED IN VACCHETTA?

Currently, we have six beautiful colorways in our Vacchetta that are offered across a variety of our best selling bag styles:

Becco D Oca

Mou

Bordeaux

Palio

Smoke

Brandy

THE HERO OF THE SEASON

Our newest star is our Giulia x-small in Vacchetta paired with the Hobo Moon bag insert. Created as the perfect addition to our best-selling Giulia, we have designed our brand-new Hobo Moon, an organic cotton bag with an essential and clean look.

Thanks to its practical hook system with carabiners, simply insert the Hobo Moon inside your Giulia bag and clip it into place for a secure, easy-to-find storage compartment. The Hobo Moon can be used by itself as well or as an easy grab bag in any larger tote for that matter.

We love the unique and luxurious look of our new Vacchetta paper colorways and are excited to offer yet another variation of our innovative, eco-friendly paper products. If you gravitate toward something a bit flashier, be sure to check out our Metallic and Glossy paper options, that are sure to provide that extra touch of flair you crave.
