VANIA & DAVID-Vania & David’s handbags and wallets are handmade with 100% genuine leather and first quality fabric and accessories. Some of the leather we utilize is natural leather from Paraguay. Paraguayan natural leather is “pounded” out by hand. Paraguay is one of the last places on Earth that produces natural leather in this manner. Vania & David’s products are extremely well designed, well made, and meticulously hand crafted. The color of leather may vary in uniformity, but that only adds to its character. Over time, and with gentle use and care, the natural leather handbags and wallets will darken, soften and become even more beautiful. They can last a lifetime.
