The Crusades leather handbag is a beautiful and unique piece of craftsmanship that has been expertly handmade by a skilled artisan. The bag is crafted from a single piece of high-quality leather that has been dyed using lacquers and waxes, resulting in a rich and lustrous finish.

The design of the bag is achieved through fretwork with a gouge, a traditional technique that involves carving delicate patterns into the leather. The resulting design is intricate and captivating, with a level of detail and precision that is truly remarkable. The fretwork design adds a sense of elegance and sophistication to the bag, making it a true work of art.

After the design has been carved, the leather has been stained and chiselled to add depth and texture. The staining process adds subtle variation in color to the leather, while the chiseling creates texture and dimension in the design. The result is a unique and visually interesting bag that is both beautiful and functional.

The bag has a wooden base that has been expertly lined with leather, providing a sturdy and durable foundation for the bag.

I am from Buenos Aires, Ramos Mejía, I started at a very young age between 10-12 years old at my father’s Rodolfo Grandi workshop , master craftsman, first in a playful and discovery way, then it was he who taught me the techniques and ways of working the leather, thus achieving unique textures and wefts.
Then, together with my brother Luciano, we continued the art that he instilled in us, giving rise to our imprint, providing the imaginative designs and the neatness in the detail.
Everything starts mainly from leather as a raw material, but what gives life to it are the inks, chiselling, gouging and the different dyeing techniques that achieve this particularity in the pieces.
Crafts, design and drawing are my way of expressing what I do, in a way, the privilege of making a living from what I like.
