Autumn Scenes from Tuscany
Posted by Pierotucci in Toscanella on September 28, 2011
How much fun can you have in autumn, watching the leaves change color, the squirrels as they get more active before their winter relax, the abundance of the harvest coming ripe with walnuts, chestnuts, figs and apples? This is our favorite time to walk those country lanes, and inhale the fresh crisp air of Autumn…
Dress your iPad in Italian Leather
Posted by Pierotucci in Designer Handbag Fashion, Toscanella on September 28, 2011
And why not? You use vegetable tanned leather for your wallets, your designer leather jacket and your messenger bag so why not extend your good taste to include a bag or sleeve designed to house your newest toy – the iPad. The idea is to protect this piece of high tech from the everyday bumps and bruises while utilizing the bag for other things like your phone, cables, notebooks and whatever else happens to fall in along the way. Italian leather iPad cases from the Toscanella line offer high quality craftsmanship, elegant lines, sturdy vegetable tanned leather and the extras that make carrying your iPad convenient and easy.
Our first suggestion is the Toscanella messenger bag, with a cotton lined central pocket and internal zip pocket that will easily hold the iPad along with file folders, note pads, cell phone, business cards and writing utensils. On the outside of this all leather messenger bag with adjustable canvas strap are two easy to get to pockets – one of which is open and the other with a secure zip closure.
The next iPad idea is a simple carry all with front buckle. This carrying case looks like a professional business briefcase – but the difference is that with the two interior sections divided by an all cotton lining, makes the ideal area to protect your iPad, Kindle or small laptop (Size cm: W 36 x H 26,50 x D 4,50). The interior has several different organizing pockets for the cell, business cards, pens, keys and a secure zipped pocket for USB keys and other important gadgets. There is also an exterior pocket, secured with a leather strap and snap and lined in a suede like material, which makes it an easy to access holding spot.
The simplest iPad case in the Toscanella line is cut in an envelope style with a top zip for security. The slim size of this bag makes it easy to stash inside a large briefcase while assuring the safety of your iPad or laptop (Size cm: W 35 x H 23 x D 1,50). The top zip has a security snap to make sure it doesn’t slide open, keeping the iPad safe and sound inside. There is an open outside pocket for stashing items like business cards, an extra pen or your flight tickets to the next business meeting.
Travelling Tuscany Italy with Toscanella
Posted by Pierotucci in fun facts/day trips, Italian Traditions and Culture, Toscanella on September 22, 2011
Pierotucci works on the assumption that everyone should travel to Tuscany, and when they do – they should be travelling in comfort with the perfect companions. In fact these travelling companions should let you rest easy while admiring the medieval squares in Siena, getting lost in the winding streets Lucca or market shopping in Florence.
While in Siena you can’t miss the lovely Piazza del Campo where you will find the Torre di Mangia, which to this day remains a beautiful combination of simplicity and elegance in its design. The curious name of the tower derives from its first bell ringer, Giovanni di Duccio, who was nicknamed Mangiaguadagni and who was commissioned to ring the hours in 1347. If you had an Italian Grandmother you would have heard the word Mangia often , it means EAT! – the second half of his nickname was “earnings”.
We are not sure if this means Giovanni ate his way through his earnings OR since he was paid to simply ring the bell – maybe the name comes from the fact that he ate up the taxpayers earnings… in either case we are sure that his travel bags were made of the same type of leather that are used in the Toscanella designer handbags.
It’s a simple idea but when you are travelling in another country with all those strange coins, it is absolutely the most perfect idea. This coin case below is the ideal container for storing all that change you get back while haggling in the market place. Most people let them fall to the bottom of their handbag but when you think that a 1 Euro coin will get you a cup of coffee and a 2 Euro coin will buy you breakfast – They are really worth keeping track of them. Great to know that you can put your vacation rental key on this key ring and always keep that safe and secure.
But for those of you that prefer to keep all your documents, travel ID, bank notes, credit cards and credit card receipts organized then you are probably looking for something just a bit larger than the coin purse. This bill fold has all the extra compartments you will ever need to hold all those little pieces of paper that you accumulate while travelling abroad.
The very same pieces of paper you want to have when you calculate your refund at the Duty Free Desk at the airport or when you add up your travel souvenirs will be easy to find when you use one of the 4 large pockets or 18 credit card slots.
