Marco Campomaggi's bags boast a style that is rugged-chic, and possess a distinctly artisanal look and feel.

His bags undergo a unique manufacturing process, where each bag is washed and dyed in its entirety after all the parts are put together - straps, lining and all. This technique (patented by Marco's Campomaggi brand) not only gives Marco's bags their vintage, weathered look, but also makes each single piece really a one-of-a-kind work of art.

The leather used is 100% Italian full-grain leather - the finest quality - and the more you wear it, the more charm and personality it acquires. The fabrics and straps are all made of 100% environmentally-friendly cotton, adding to the timelessness of Marco's bags.

Everything about Campomaggi bags exude character - from the uniquely-dyed leather and the distressed hardware to the confident designs that invite you to "come see what I'm made of".

The PIOLA is the classic leather bag with a modern twist. Thin like a portfolio but large, roomy and versatile like a tote bag, this business tote is conducive to carrying everything from documents, laptops, binders and more.

The top-quality Italian leather with a broken-in look (result of a patented distressing process) adds a lot of character to this workhorse of a bag. The adjustable handles and the removable strap give you the option of carrying the bag in your hand or on your shoulder. The wide zippered opening lets you easily access the main compartment. In short, this tote bag can withstand the rigors of daily life, all the while maintaining an aura of simple elegance.

Please note that the PATENTED TREATMENT these bags go through guarantees that no two bags are exactly alike. Because each "skin" is unique in the way it absorbs color, stretches and shrinks, each finished bag is distinct in its color, tonality, and texture. The resulting shape and size may also vary slightly.

  • Handmade with real Italian Vacchetta leather

  • Cotton-lined interior
  • Adjustable-length double leather handles (handle drop 6.5" - 10")

Customer Reviews

Piola Very Cool, Very Useful

- By Tom, Portsmouth NH
Among my CM bags, the Piola may be the coolest. So many couture designers have bags like this for men. The difference: hello! this is CAMPOMAGGI. The leather is to die for and conforms to your body and your gait. It's also visually very sensuous: glorious skin. I choose this bag when I have several New York Reviews, London Reviews, etc -- those oversized maggies-- to carry to work; along with the usually daily stuff. Do not let its small depth confuse you: because of the quality of the leather, the Piola is a great shopper. It is very easy to get in and out of this bag. The drop handles are adjustible (too many from other designers are fixed at a too-long length so the bag nearly touches the ground). If you have other Campomaggi bags and think you've seen it all: forget it. That is, unless you've tried out the Piola, one very cool bag.
