What’s in it for you?

What’s in it for you?  Well, you will just have to check out the 2012 Pierotucci iPad Case Collection to find out, but I can assure you we are loaded with surprises for all who participate.

Our designers would have to have their head in the sand not to notice the increasing request for iPad and Tablet cases and sleeves.  In fact, we have already indicated that many of our existing bags are perfect choices for carrying this ever important electronic appendage from place to place,  but we cant ignore that many are looking for a case or sleeve that is ad hoc for their technological companion.    Something that is quality, practical, safe and Made in Italy, something like our new iPad case collection.

Have a peak at the link below and tell us what you think about our first proto-types!

Pierotucci iPad Case Collection

Gadgets from Campomaggi . . . to complete your collection

We have added to our Campomaggi messenger bag and business bag collection.  Well, actually more than added to it we have expanded our collection to include some necessary gadgets for today’s shoppers.  Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize – but I am not sure if they meant that to mean iPad cases, wallets and belts! But it didn’t stop us from trying out these new items from Campomaggi to our 2012 New Collection.

The distinct washed leather look translates well into these Campomaggi unisex belts .  Though the chain link with the leather woven inside is more on the feminine side – the distressed leather belt with the metal studs can definitely go either way – sexy and casual on a lady and rugged and manly on any guy. Either belt is approximately 3.5 cm high and is available only in the color shown here.  These are most definitely accessories worth adding to your wardrobe because not only will they compliment any of the Campomaggi bags but they are the perfect touch for a pair of jeans – in blue, black or brown.

More on the masculine side are the two new gadgets – one is a Campomaggi wallet with a chunky chain which hooks to your belt loops, while the wallet tucks safely into your back pocket.  Though there is a place for business cards and a zipped section – I can also see this as ideal for holding your tobacco, filters and paper.  It has the feel of a mix between Harley Davidson Biker – the chain is very unique and a more country feel with the rich earthy tones in the leather.

This mini pouch from Campomaggi with  detachable cross body strap will easily fill a plethora of needs – any time you need to be hands free, this gadget will fit the bill.  It has a simple snap closure and is available in the dark cognac.  There is a cell phone pocket on the external part of the pouch, underneath the flap and an unlined section for keeping keeps and other personal gadgets.

Finally a piece that everybody can use – male or female alike!  This iPad case in the delicious washed leather (available in two shades – dark and light brown) has a security snap closure.  The inside of this iPad bag is lined with a thick felt, reminiscent of the blankets used to protect horses while wearing a saddle – so it will surely be enough to give added protection to your iPad.

Campomaggi for iPad & Netbook

Sometimes a beautiful distressed leather and fantastic structural design is not enough – you need space, and lots of it. This messenger bag has all three qualities made of the signature distressed leather from Campomaggi and following the simple lines in the messenger bag design, it was easy to add inches to the right and left, up and down to create a super sized messenger bag.

Zipped interior pocket holds iPad, sm laptop or Netbook

Pro’s:  Interior pocket with security zip for carrying a laptop, iPad or Netbook.  The adjustable and removable shoulder strap for alternate carrying options.  External lock on front flap.

Con’s: Though it is unisex, this bag tends to lend itself to a more masculine look.  One must take into consideration that the  interior measurements are not standardized.  Some people have noted that fist few times they have used the bag the color may rub off to lighter colored clothing – however this stops after the bag has been exposed to the elements a couple of times.

What I liked best about the bag: It’s large and made of a sturdy leather.  I liked the detachable shoulder strap for alternative carrying option  (top handle or carrying strap), this  make sthe bag versatile and convenient to carry light or heavy objects.  Though in today’s world nothing is truly safe from prying hands – it was nice to have a security lock on the exterior.

What I liked least about the bag: Tough, because I must say I really like this bag.  If anything it is the strong scent that the Campmaggi bags have at the beginning – it quickly wears off, however it can be quite overpowering at the very beginning.

The Perfect Work Companion

If your iPad, laptop or Netbook is one of your fixed travelling companions  and your best friend at work (it has all your appointments, notes, dates, phone numbers and so much more) then it only makes sense that it has a place of its own.  Combine your handsome leather bag with practical compartments for the old style hard copies and a special area for your high tech partner.  There’s no need to sacrifice the traditional elegant lines of a leather bag simply because you need to lug your hardware along with you to the next meeting.  We have selected two designs which are similar in structure but use two totally different leathers to give it a look suitable to your working personality – if the classic, sophisticated look appeals to you then you might prefer an embossed leather.  This is considered  more rigid full grain leather, embossed with a fine pebbly pattern and it is the strongest and most difficult to scratch.

Pierotucci Business Tote Bag for laptop and documents

This Pierotucci Business Tote Bag for laptop and documents is a  fabulous unisex leather laptop bag  is perfect for any formal or casual occasion and especially suitable for the active career minded person that needs organization and a clean, urban-chic look.  The bag is loaded with versatile accessories and options  for instance it has a magnetic button top closure, an adjustable shoulder strap, a central zipped compartment large enough your iPad or Netbook, 2 main compartments for documents and folders, an inside zipped pocket to keep small items safe and easy to find – like your extra USB or a demo CD, an outside open pocket as well as organizing pockets for your cell phone, business cards and pens.

Toscanella Business Tote Hand Bag

An alternative briefcase is the Toscanella  iPad or Netbook tote bag made from vacchetta calf skins which are tanned using vegetable dyes for a matte finish leaving a more weathered, casual look. Soft to the touch although a little rigid to start, as this leather ages, it’s feel becomes progressively more supple. This look is right for a more casual appearance or if you prefer a “down to earth” look. Offering top handles, two main sections for docs and folders, a zipped central pocket for your hi-tech equipment, an interior zipped pocket to keep small items safe, and organizing elements such as a key holder, Cell-phone pocket, pen loops and business card slots. Plus there are two open outside pockets for even more organizing power.

Dress your iPad in Italian Leather

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.

Toscanella Leather Messenger Bag and iPad Holder

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.

Toscanella Leather iPad Holder and Laptop Bag

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.
