Felisi, the Italian bag brand celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, is releasing two series of waterproof and water-repellent items.

"SEA COTTON," due to be released on the 1st of next month, is a series that combines vachetta leather (vegetable-tanned leather) with jacquard-woven cotton canvas. The canvas surface is coated to improve water resistance and reduce scratches caused by friction. Eight styles are available, including travel luggage (71,400 yen), a shoulder bag with an external pocket (61,950 yen), and a mini clutch with a tassel zipper (24,150 yen).

"PALM," due to be released in late August, is based on vegetable-tanned natural leather and has been given a wrinkled and water-repellent finish. The interior is made of bright blue pigskin. There are eight styles available, including a simple tote (73,500 yen), a drawstring pouch (78,750 yen), and a body bag with two rows of zippers (66,150 yen).
