About Valextra
Valextra is a storied Italian luxury brand that has been crafting leather goods since its founding in Milan in 1937. Still independently owned by the descendants of founder Giovanni Fontana, Valextra continues to epitomize discrete, functional luxury that doesn't rely on logos or trends.
While not as much of a household name as mega-brands like Louis Vuitton and Chanel, Valextra has a devoted following of fans who love the brand for its superb yet understated designs. Valextra combines age-old artisanal techniques with innovation to create bags known for their enduring style and impeccable craftsmanship. The brand's focus is on function - every design element serves a practical purpose in a Valextra bag.
Smooth calfskin, pebbled martellato calfskin, and soft goatskin are signature Valextra leathers. The buttery leathers are crafted into structured yet lightweight bags lined in leather. The brand's most iconic bag is likely the Iside, a trapezoidal shoulder bag featuring Valextra's signature easy open/close clasp. The clean-lined Iside comes in a range of sizes such as the ever-popular Mini and Medium, along with a rainbow of rich neutrals and vibrant brights.
Another iconic silhouette is the Triennale tote, a sleek minimalist tote with subtle branding that epitomizes understated luxury. The Isdie Mini bag is another beloved and often-spotted Valextra style. Beyond classic styles like the Iside and Triennale, Valextra also releases seasonal collections featuring fresh colors and fabrications like exotic leathers.
Unlike many luxury brands, overt logos are nowhere to be found on Valextra's creations. The brand attracts fans looking for luxury craftsmanship without flash or fanfare. Yet Valextra still has its share of celebrity devotees like Meghan Markle.
Over the decades, Valextra has maintained its reputation for offering clients excellent after-sales service. The family ownership results in exceptional continuity, with its artisans passing their expertise down through generations. When you buy a Valextra bag, you are investing in a lovingly crafted piece designed to become an enduring treasure for years to come.
