The metallic leather is a stand out on this bag, and it's simple but classic. It measures: 15" W x 7.75" D x 15" H. This lovely is available for pre-order and it could be yours for the tune of 2875 USD.
Like the look of the Brunello Cucinelli Leather Tote? Lets be our own brand.
Pattern + Hardware + Fabric= Handmade Couture
Pattern:
The Poolside Tote by Noodlehead Patterns is the perfect starting point to recreate our inspiration bag. The Poolside tote has a very similar shape and size. She measures: 14.5" Wx 14.5" H x 7.5" D. The Noodlehead tote features bold straps that run the complete exterior panel of our bag, and is ROOMY, just like our inspiration bag.
Additionally, the Poolside tote has two different pocket options for the exterior, so you can choose your favorite or leave the exterior plain as in our inspiration bag. To rectreate the Brunello, we will modify the exterior and lining panels of the bag to cut straight across. Simply avoid cutting out the curve along the top of the panels.

Fabric:
If you wanted to recreate our inspiration bag, you can find a similar leather like this gold metallic skin from the Tannery NYC.
Add some black leather for the straps, like this skin also from The Tannery NYC.
If leather isn't something that you aren't comfortable using, you can find a fauc leather that would work well for the same look of our inspiration bag, like this gold faux leather.
Another great option is natural cork fabric, which is available from MM Cork Supply in Canada or from Sew Sweetness in the US. You can get cork in a various colors and finishes, like this natural with gold flecks:
Pair this with a black cork and you have a perfect recreation of our inspiration bag.
