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?
