Discover the Alca ostrich leather bag, combining a classic style with a precious leather dress. The harmonious combination of smooth surfaces and pimpled textures gives a unique personality and distinctive design to the satchel bag. Versatility is in the spotlight: hold it by the handle for a sophisticated look or use the detachable shoulder strap for cross-body wear. Every detail has been carefully thought out, including the invisible clasp judiciously placed under the strap, guaranteeing the safety of your belongings. Revealing true French artisanal know-how, the classic Alca style bag embodies patience, high standards and precision. Due to the unique characteristics of ostrich leather, automated methods are inapplicable. The finishes, carried out by hand, involve highly qualified and passionate craftsmen, with a particular sensitivity for leather. Each piece is the result of the dedication of a craftsman who crafts it with meticulous care. Thus, the creation of the flap bag requires an investment of 15 to 20 hours of artisanal work. The brown ostrich leather, with a matte finish, comes from Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, just like our precious artisans and tannery partners. Each piece we offer is a unique work. Made by an exclusive craftsman, they are fully traceable and accompanied by their certificate of authenticity.

The Alca flap handbag comes with its certificate of authenticity in a natural cotton pouch in the colors of the brand. As Nilau is a brand that is committed to French, respectful and reasoned production, we have reduced our packaging by taking only one shipping box. The latter is therefore reusable as a storage box. All exchanges and returns are possible from France within 14 days of receipt of your purchase. Return costs are offered.  

Here are some general recommendations for preserving your bag so that it will last and can be passed on from one generation to the other:

1. Avoid contact with water, grease, perfumes, or cosmetics. If your item should get wet, dab the area with a soft, clear fabric to absorb the liquid.
2. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or intense light sources.
3. Store it in its protective dust bag when not in use. Also, remember to store the shoulder straps inside the bag to avoid damaging them or put pressure on the metal parts and leather. Do not store it in a place that is too hot, humid, or unventilated.

Remember that as a living material, leather evolves, softens, and develops a patina over time, especially the natural cowhide found in the lining. This tough hide, which serves to stiffen the bag, will gradually patina and become slightly darker. This is why color variations, small marks, or veins, on the leather, are natural elements and should not be considered imperfections. Learn more about leather care
