The Bridge (brand)

The Bridge is an Italian leather goods company specializing in handcrafted bags, briefcases, wallets, and accessories. Founded in Florence in 1969, the brand is known for its classic, timeless designs and the use of full-grain vegetable-tanned leather. The leather is typically treated with a special process that gives it a distinctive aged appearance, often referred to as "brown leather effect" or "English leather effect." This characteristic aging process contributes to the brand's vintage aesthetic.

The Bridge distinguishes itself through its commitment to traditional craftsmanship. The tanning process, using natural tannins from tree bark, gives the leather a unique depth of color and durability. The brand emphasizes quality materials and meticulous construction, aiming for products that will last for many years and develop a patina with use.

The Bridge's products are typically sold in department stores, specialty leather goods shops, and through their own retail locations and online store. The brand's target market generally consists of individuals who appreciate quality, craftsmanship, and a classic, understated style.
