Entirely dressed in ostrich leather, the luxury Alca Corail bag will only be enhanced under this dress which makes the style even more classic. The symbiosis between the smooth parts and the spiked parts of this precious leather gives character to the satchel bag while offering it a unique design. If the handle allows it to be carried by hand, it also comes with its easily detachable shoulder strap for “cross-body” carrying. Thought out down to the smallest detail, this bag is secure thanks to its invisible clasp placed under the strap. The Alca, luxury bag par excellence, is a demonstration of French craftsmanship : patience, exigence et précision.  Puisque le cuir d’autruche a des caractéristiques bien particulières, nous ne pouvons pas utiliser les méthodes habituelles automatisées. Les découpes se font à la main et nécessitent l’intervention de personnes hautement qualifiées qui ont une vraie sensibilité du cuir. Un artisan dédie sa dextérité pour chacune des pièces qu’il travaille avec minutie. Ainsi, ce sac à rabat nécessite entre 15 et 20 heures de travail. Le cuir d’autruche couleur Corail à la finition mate provient d’Auvergne Rhône-Alpes tout comme les artisans avec lesquels nous travaillons (workshop, tannery). Toutes nos pièces uniques sont traçables et sont livrées avec leur certificat d’authenticité.

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
