Design Notes (Year-Specific):
Il Bisonte emphasizes traditional Florentine leatherworking over logos Bags are designed to age and change color over time (patina is intentional) This style was popular in the 2000s–early 2010s as a luxury-casual alternative to big fashion houses Not trend-driven—more timeless craft piece than fashion statement Value depends heavily on condition since wear blends into the aesthetic
