Fortela’s women’s bags are designed to be an essential accessory in every discerning woman’s wardrobe, blending functionality with style. Their evolution is deeply rooted in fashion history, continuously adapting to the needs and tastes of various eras. Fortela’s women’s bags stand out for their vintage inspiration, which imbues each design with echoes of the past, updated with a modern twist. Alessandro Squarzi, the brand’s founder, has put his passion for vintage and expertise into every detail, from leather processing to the selection of materials, ensuring the uniqueness and character of each piece. The raw materials are chosen for their durability, making Fortela bags reliable companions for years to come. The core elements of Fortela’s identity are seamlessly integrated into its bags: a commitment to high-quality materials, vintage inspiration, and stylistic cross-pollination. For instance, some bags feature details such as turquoise stone conchos, which are also used in other accessories like belts, shoes, hats, and women’s overshirts. The collection includes a variety of styles, from travel bags, for women who value dynamic yet minimalist travel, to everyday bags for more casual use. One example is HAMPTON, featuring off-white cotton construction, dual central handles and Fortela’s iconic orange contrast stitching, which embodies the brand’s philosophy and goals. Among the most popular models are travel bags like AVIATOR, crafted from 100% cotton, with a central steel zipper for security and ease. For those seeking a vintage esthetic in an everyday bag, NITIS is perfect: a wicker basket with a central handle wrapped in a red bandana, adorned with turquoise stone conchos. Each model is designed to meet the needs of modern women who value both quality and the charm of vintage style.
