The “Cherry Pie” Vintage Leather Bag by Carlos Falchi

Own a piece of 1970s NYC fashion history. This perfectly “amiably rumpled” beauty was crafted by the legendary Carlos Falchi, a self-taught Brazilian artisan who famously dyed his first leather designs in his apartment bathtub. A neighbor to Jimi Hendrix and a favorite of rockstars, Falchi became known for soft, unstructured luxury with a rebellious, handcrafted soul — and this piece embodies that ethos.

Crafted from supple embossed leather with a rich, multi-tonal cherry red finish, the texture adds depth and dimension that only gets better with time. The soft-structured crossbody silhouette keeps it lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, while the secure top zip closure and decorative drawstring detail add both function and flair. The iconic Carlos Falchi logo patch is prominently featured on the front, grounding it firmly in its 1980s vintage roots.

This bag is the ultimate pop of color. We love it styled back to The Picnic Posh Ruffle Blouse — the bold red hue pulls the embroidered florals forward and adds a sophisticated edge to the romantic silhouette. It’s slouchy, statement-making, and timeless in that effortless, downtown-meets-meadow way.
