MADE WITH PRECISION
Handmade Italian Leather Handbags, Made in New York City
Pietro handbags are crafted in small batches in our own Garment District workshop from 100% Italian leather. The collection includes structured totes like the Chelsea XL and Park Ave, the convertible Crosby shoulder bag, the Lafayette mini barrel, the Chelsea Mini bucket bag, and the Hudson Clutch, along with leather belts and keychains cut from the same hides. Choose from classic neutrals, seasonal colors, suede, and limited-edition specialty leathers, all made by hand in Manhattan since 1982.
Our philosophy
One Workshop. One Family. Every Single Stitch.
Pietro is one of the last handbag manufacturers still working in New York City. Founded in 1982 by Pierre Dabagh and carried forward by his children, we design and produce every bag under one roof. Nothing is outsourced and nothing is mass produced. We choose our leathers by hand, work in small batches, and make bags meant to outlast trends.
Questions
Frequently Asked
Where are your handbags made?
All of our handbags are handmade in our Manhattan factory, where we’ve been crafting leather goods since 1982.
What type of leather do you use?
We use only 100% Italian leather, imported directly from Italy, ensuring exceptional quality and durability.

How long does it take to make a handbag?
Depending on the design and detailing, each piece can take several hours to days to complete, as we focus on precision and craftsmanship over speed.
Where is your leather factory located?
Our factory is based in Manhattan, making us the last standing leather factory in New York City capable of producing at our scale.
How do I care for my leather handbag?
We recommend storing your bag in its dust cover when not in use, avoiding prolonged exposure to water or direct sunlight, and conditioning the leather occasionally with a high-quality leather cream or an oil free baby wipe.
Do you offer repairs or restoration?
Yes — since we make everything in-house, we can assist with repairs or restoration to keep your handbag looking its best for years to come.
Are your handbags sustainable?
We practice sustainable craftsmanship by using ethically sourced Italian leather and producing in small, thoughtful quantities rather than mass production. Each piece is made to order.
