Fontem was born from my desire to create exquisite, tailor-made bags, each one unique and precious to its owner. Today, it represents the quintessential meeting of several worlds… bringing together old and new… uniting fine leather craftsmanship with the written word… and fusing the world of fashion and design with the celebration of each individual’s uniqueness… The bags in the collection are named for incredible women writers, whose words have inspired generations. Following their example, each and every Fontém purse is handmade to order with your custom message imprinted inside, guaranteeing a timeless and meaningful purse that will be cherished for many years to come. All Fontém handbags are handmade from premium Italian leather, imported from certified tanneries only, guaranteeing that the entire production chain is made-in-Italy, that the leather is free of any unsuitable or toxic agents, and that it is produced using the most advanced technologies. This commitment to sustainability means that Fontém handbags preserve the balance of the natural world as they celebrate the beauty of women everywhere.
