Il Bisonte, by far, is the epitome of NYC area "old school" chic. It is a perfect "brand" for someone with the confidence to carry a bag for the gorgeous leather, rather than for the name. The fact that there are only two retail stores in the States, NYC (Soho) and Beverly Hills, keeps it's exclusivity to only those familiar with the product.

The leathers are stunning and classic. It's "vache naturelle" is amazing. It develops over time into a fabulous piece, showing all the signs of love and activity it gets! That's part of the fun. I recently rediscovered it after observing a new friend toting around one that she has carried for over 20 years. She can carry any bag she chooses, and that impressed me even more. I paid a visit back to the Sullivan Street boutique and viola! -- gladly put away the Hermes for a while!

I couldn't have said it better!! I also love the little jumping bison logo!
 
Hello from Australia!! I just bought an Il Bisonte bag yesterday I have had a 2 year search for a simple smallish classic bag in a lovely tan leather colour--seemingly almost impossible to get one in Australia!! All the bags here are large and have a lot of unecessary hardware(to my mind) so it was nice to discover this one It is a rectangular shape with a strap that can be worn short or extended to crossbody length I am loving it!! The only place here that sells them in Victoria as far as I can see is Hunt leather in Collins street
 
timeless style - I don't own one but I think they have a look that would work great with much of what I wear. Something to be said about a design that is simple and clean.
