Founded in Florence, Italy in 1969 the Il Ponte Pelleteria company created 'The Bridge' brand in 1969 with the aim of creating bags and accessories with a characteristic style. From the great artisan workshop on the outskirts of Florence, high-quality products are produced using fine materials and traditional processes resulting in unique items. Soft and sturdy at the same time, the leather at The Bridge shows itself in new facets all the time, which makes each piece special. The natural material is handled with expert craftsmanship: from the careful selection to vegetable tanning and polishing. Through the years, all this turned The Bridge bags into perfect companions for everyday life, work and travel, which are appreciated all over the world. In addition, all The Bridge bags, accessories and luggage made of leather develop a patina over time and thus get an individual look. Some The Bridge bags for women as well as wallets are made of high-quality imitation leather – according to the same high standards that are typical for every The Bridge leather bag. Whether traditional leather or modern imitation leather, discreetly used decorative elements such as rivets and fringes as well as restrained patterns are typical for The Bridge bags. Bags, luggage and accessories by The Bridge combine delicacy and technology
