At Attavanti you will find some very special, exclusive handmade, Italian leather handbags and backpacks, chosen by us for you. All our beautiful items are sourced from small Italian artisan suppliers. That does mean lots of trips to Italy, well someone has got to do it. We love to find high quality and style and to solve any gifting problems, for instance if you have a musician in your life, music lover or enthusiast whatever the genre then we have a couple of the most perfect melodic, unique gifts for them.

I said unique and they certainly are, in fact they are distinctive, statement, handmade leather bags and backpacks that take musical instruments as their inspiration. Both quirky and practical, they are beautifully crafted by Italian artisans at Pratesi, Florence, Italy in the finest Italian leathers. 

The first is an exquisite grab bag that is created with the pianist in mind and modelled on a piano. A top handle bag where the front of the body of the bag has the ivory and ebony keys. Not all 88 keys from the piano keyboard but 8 black and 11 white leather keys. The flap over opening that closes with magnetic buttons resembles the curves of a grand piano lid. Plus additional decorative hardware, a musical treble clef symbol, adorns the front and a wow is the inside is gold fabric lined. A classical piece, molto dolce, a very sweet piece. Also the Piano bag comes in a range of beautiful colours and in two different types of leather, the bruce which is wax and more rustic and polished radica which has a beautiful shine.

The second musical inspired leather piece is a backpack, that can also be worn on the shoulder, modelled on an acoustic, classical guitar. The main part of the backpack is shaped like the guitar body and detailing includes the sound hole, bridge, the strings which continue along the canvas strap to resembles the neck, turners and headstock. The single lined interior is opened by a top zip and inside has a side zip compartment and Pratesi signature automatic, interior LED light. The Guitar range includes two sizes, many colours and two different leathers, rustic waxed bruce and polished radica. 

There are not many instrumental music themed bags available that are as stylish and individual as these Italian Pratesi bags and backpacks and I think we have two of the most fabulous, stylish quirky detailed designs you can find. So whether you play or just love Lang Lang, Mary Lou Williams, Elton John or Paul Weller, Ed Sheeran or Tracy Chapman we have the most harmonious, perfect gifts for musicians and music lovers.
