A unique handbag created from a drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci.

What do you get when you combine a 500-Year-Old Leonardo da Vinci sketch with a luxury handbag maker?

The answer comes in the form of a calfskin leather handbag named the “The Wintour”. 

The Wintour Bag is a personally accessory that is handmade in leather and named after amazing Anna Wintour.

The luxury leather bag, designed by Alisa Kovtunova of the ARTBURO, is based off of a sketch by artist Leonardo da Vinci during his first Milanese period.

In 1978, da Vinci scholar Carlo Pedretti identified a 1497 Da Vinci drawing—which is contained in da Vinci’s Codex Atlanticu—as  a handbag.  

The Artburo Wintour Bag is the epitome of a classic handbag. It is simply designed and crafted. 

First introduced in 2014 and was ultimately named for the English editor-in-chief of American Vogue - Anna Wintour.

What is the process to  create a custom Artburo The Wintour handbag? What if one wants to select a personal combination of leathers, stitching and hardwares? I often hear of our handbag aficianados referring to these special pieces as ‘custom orders’.

Can you please explain the process for those of us not familiar?
