Sicily Bag - Gigi Carretto
Sicily Bag - Gigi Carretto
Handcrafted Sicilian “coffa” bag, made with the finest quality Sicilian dwarf palm and embellished with coloured pom poms, wood, thread, mirrors and brass medallions.
Local artisan Luigi and his children, to whom he has passed on the skills of this traditional craft, are some of the last remaining practitioners of their art. With each creation taking two full days to make, no two bags are ever quite the same - to Sicilians, to us, and to the world, that is what makes them so special.
For a limited time, this bag comes with a plush, complimentary 'Taormina' beach towel, made from 100% cotton and featuring a hand-painted Sicilian design. While stocks last. Last few towels left...
Sicily Bag Story
Sicily Bag Story
Whilst roaming the streets of outer Palermo – a vibrant city of immeasurable charm – we stumbled upon one of the few remaining authentic Sicilian coffa bag producers, and fell instantly in love. The colours and textures of these delicious accessories were so wonderfully unique and versatile, and right there, we resolved to bring them to the rest of the world. That is how Sicily Bag was born in 2015, and it continues to bring us so much joy to not only share this artisanal splendour, but to also support the beautiful family who plies this fading craft.

Please be aware that all of our Sicily Bags are lovingly adorned creations, hand crafted by Luigi in Palermo. Because of this, no two items are exactly alike, nor are they perfect. All handmade items will have natural irregularities. It is these slight imperfections that give handcrafted items their innate soulful Sicilian character and appeal. You can probably see in our product photos that Sicily Bags are all slightly different shapes and sizes.
