The Roma Range
Our Roma crossbody bags, holdalls, washbags and duffels are made of an amazingly supple all natural leather in a classic ‘chocolate’ brown colour that goes with literally everything.
Why is the Roma range of leather bags and carriers so universally appealing? That’s harder to pin down than you might think at first glance. Of course, there is the exquisite look and feel of the leather, but doesn’t real beauty hide beneath the skin?
These bags and carriers feature some truly classic design elements which give them a timeless look, but also a few improvements which make them hands-down more convenient and a better value than just about anything else on the market today. Whether you are packing for a fabulous holiday on the continent or a simple trip to the shops, a bag from the Roma range will get you there in style and comfort. What more could one ask?
How does one make leather fine enough to be part of the Roma range? It comes from some of the world’s finest craftspeople. They use materials and methods older than the hills, but also a few technological tricks that make the process less wasteful and more ecologically friendly. At the same time, these changes produce a higher quality leather. After all, if you didn’t start with the finest of materials, the quality poured into every later stage of the crafting process would be wasted!
Roma Holdall with Shoe Pocket
A Holdall is an icon of flexibility and utility. It can be an airline carry-on, your only bag for a short trip, or a simple piece of utility gear when you need to transport something safely and easily… but also with a bit of flair.
In addition to having everything you’d expect from a holdall of this quality, this piece offers something unique — and you’ve probably already spotted it. The side-access shoe pocket holds 1–2 pairs of shoes easily and conveniently, and keeps them separate from the rest of your garments or other gear. The reinforced pocket ensures that your footwear is never crushed or creased, and also keeps footwear that — ultimately — has to interact with the ground separated from your other clothing. Of course, you can keep anything in the ‘shoe pocket’, from medicines to a full cosmetics kit or wash bag. This holdall is as versatile as you could hope!
Roma Large Holdall
A holdall is the ultimate convenience piece when it comes to luggage. Need to pack light for a short trip or a special event? A holdall has all the space you need. Need to really ‘gear up’ for a holiday? All of those items just a little too awkward for a suitcase can find a home here too. Need to transport sales samples, special equipment or a few heavy items? Our holdall is the answer, every time.
This holdall has plenty of upgrades that separate it from the pack, even when considering only other high end leather luggage options. The leather itself is of a stunning quality, offering a smooth, supple texture but also the strength to stand up to long-term use. It offers both handles and attachment points for a shoulder or crossbody strap, and the handle reinforcement wraps completely around the bag itself. It even has an extra-wide, fold-down main compartment zip.
Roma Full Flap Crossbody Bag
This simple crossbody bag offers all of the classic, effortless style and obvious quality of the Roma line, including strong, supple chocolate-toned leather and sturdy brass effect closures and hardware. Better still, the timeless flapover style keeps your contents secure and out of the way while internal pouches and zippered pockets keep your belongings well organised.
Under the main protective flap, you’ll find a convenient outer pouch that stretches the length of the bag, as well as a securely zippered main compartment. Of course, what crossbody bag would be complete without a fully adjustable shoulder strap, made of the same durable yet luxuriously soft leather as the bag itself?
On the topic of the leather, have we mentioned the quality and durability of the materials used? This is one of the loveliest leathers we’ve seen used, and we deal with some of the best manufacturers in the country. You won’t be disappointed!
Roma Wash Bag
It has been said that the humble wash bag is one of the most useful pieces of luggage a modern traveller can carry, but there is nothing humble about this example of the leatherworker’s art. In the end, nothing compares to real leather and nothing beats true craftsmanship.
From the quality of the basic materials to the detailed stitching, sturdy reinforced corners and luxurious lining, this is one of the best examples of what the Roma range has to offer. Try it for one overnight trip, and you’ll never be able to imagine going back.
Here, simplicity and practicality are the watchwords. The main zip detaches from the sides to open very wide indeed, allowing easy access both to the interior and the hidden internal side pockets. These let you keep your smallest items organised, and make sure you can find everything easily when you need to use it.
Roma Duffle Bag
Some accessories never go out of style, and the simplicity and effectiveness of the basic ‘duffle bag’ design makes it as important to today’s travellers and holidaymakers as ever. The quality of the chocolate brown leather is exquisite, and its soft, supple texture is matched only by its strength and durability.
That having been said, this is not the duffle your grandfather brought back from his years in the Merchant Navy. It has been thoroughly re-imagined to meet modern standard of style and utility without losing its classic lines or compromising on materials or craftsmanship in any way. It is in all ways an improvement over the original.
The Roma Duffle Bag’s best feature is perhaps its massive, uncompromised internal volume. This large capacity bag is only improved by a durable reinforced base, sturdy handles with wrap-around belting and solidly-stitched mounts for a shoulder strap.
Roma Men’s Crossbody Bag
This is a slim, tall version of the classic crossbody bag reminiscent of the map and document satchels of yesteryear. The quality of its craftsmanship and materials match that styling, and it would not be difficult to mistake this piece for a treasured antique.
There is nothing like a sturdy, spacious crossbody bag to hold the tools of your everyday life, keeping them both organised and ready to hand. Whether those tools are writing or sketching implements, a tablet and mobile phone or just a pocketbook and the essentials, this bag offers all the utility you might need.
The quality of the leather is one of this bag’s top features, and the exquisite workmanship shows it off to the best possible effect. The buckle-effect snap belt on the main closure keeps your possessions secure, and an array of external and internal pockets help keep your possessions organised.
Roma Flap Over Crossbody Bag
The Roma line’s slimmest crossbody bag yet is the perfect place to keep a large smartphone, a pocketbook, a make-up kit or any of the sundry accoutrements that modern life seems to require.
The workmanship on this piece is exceptional, but that is no less than the smooth, butter-soft leather of its construction deserves. This bag is exactly what makes real leather products so sought-after today — the unmatchable mix of style, durability and sheer joy of ownership.
Despite appearances, there is plenty of room inside! The front pocket is protected by the foldover flap and a sturdily-built brass-effect snap, while the main compartment zips closed for security. Finally, a crossbody carrying strap made of the same fine, durable leather as the bag itself makes this piece more than the best bag you’ve ever owned — it becomes an instant classic that goes with anything and everything.
Roma Classic Crossbody Bag
More people are wearing crossbody bags than ever before. Well, the reason why is obvious once you’ve had your hands on one of these beauties. It seems to be everything all at once — the most stylish bag you own, the most convenient piece in your arsenal and the bag you can take literally everywhere. In fact, you should plan for this to be your go-to bag for all occasions now. It is practically inevitable.
One thing this crossbody bag does not fall short of is storage options. The main compartment is zipped at the top, and offers numerous internal pockets to keep your whole life organised. Finally, the outside zippered pocket is perfect for cash, ID and anything you need to access quickly.
Finally, the carry strap is fully adjustable — from crossbody to shoulder length or even shorter. It is crafted of durable leather and will look great even after years of everyday use.
