Rosa Grande

Description

Rosa – a name that conjures up a picture of the beauty of an open flower, and literally means ‘pink rose’. It was not such a rosy picture though for Rosa Balistreri, an Italian singer and musician, that grew up in the sorrow and captivity of an impoverished woman in the 1950s living in Sicily, Southern Italy. Rosa’s experience drove her to flee her family home in her early 20s and seek out a life beyond the violence and ignorance of her rural upbringing. Some say that it was her harsh upbringing that charged her deep voice with a distinct melancholy that made her a Sicilian icon of the 20th century.

Speaking of icons - our Rosa Grande Crossbody x Wallet could be exactly that. This beautifully gathered leather pouch-like handbag has an intricately crafted, curved closure making its soft grain texture a standout feature. Whether travelling by bus or train, visiting museums or monuments, this petite handbag with removable straps and wristlet, carries a ‘grande’ punch.
