Tocco Tenero; My New Bag & A Giveaway!

Tocco Tenero is the label for a range of forward fashion leather bags. It is a graceful blend of the vibrant pace of today’s fashion with the characteristics of traditional Italian culture, such as beauty, perfection and passion.

Last week, I visited the boutique located at Wisma Atria. Thanks Agnes (Tocco Tenero Brand Manager) for the lovely invite (:

Wisma Atria #01-33

All Tocco Tenero products are crafted from 100% genuine leather (lambskin, goatskin or cow hide), therefore far superior manufacturing and material quality is utilized. The brand aims to do it while maintaining original designs and a similar form of competitive pricing.

Fyi, these quality leather bags' pricing is not more than $200!

While Tocco Tenero specializes in bold (and fashionably-current) colours, there is also a large selection of bags which come in neutral colours like black, white and beige.

The bag styles and shapes range from conventional to exotic.

Literally spoilt for choice, yes?

Besides bags, Tocco Tenero's products include belts, wallets and other small leather accessories.

Leather wallets at $59? I kid you not.

Leather sleeves for your iPad?

There are 4 key characteristics that define Tocco Tenero brand, which include:-

Versatility

Every Tocco Tenero bag can be carried in several different manners eg. shoulder sling, hand-carry, across the body sling etc. It has the ability to be arranged in different shapes to add that extra structural dimension.

Functionality

Tocco Tenero bags can be used in all aspects of the everyday life -- be it casual, work or play.

Affordability & Quality

The delicate combination between Affordability & Quality is achieved by investing considerable quantities of time and effort into the research and development of each Tocco Tenero product. This is to maximize the use of material & accessories while minimizing weight during the construction phase to lower the manufacturing cost, hence the affordable retail pricing.

To ensure that quality is not compromised, comprehensive Quality Control (QC) measures are put in place and enforced by independent regulators.

The bags that caught my fancy...

Leopard prints! I'm eyeing the tote bag ♥

The roomy totes.

I totally dig the furry tail accessory :D

The one I didn't end up getting... The gorgeous classy work bag!

The hippie chic boho handbags.

Nice bag but... too small for me :X

Fyi, Tocco Tenero offers complimentary lifetime leather maintenance service for customers. Awesome right?!

After much deliberation, I made my choice!

My pick -- Carter Large Tote Bag with dual tube handles. I love how roomy the bag is, and of course the color FUCHSIA! Mega love ♥

Body is a fuchsia coloured pebble grain cowhide with a woven panel, adorned with light gold hardware.

Woven panel

I love the inclusion of this pretty gold and enamel lock trinket (embossed with Tocco Tenero logo).

Joseph Lor (Tocco Tenero Brand Director) was saying some customers feedback that it adds weight to the bag. I beg to differ. The lock trinket actually lends an interesting touch to the overall appeal of the bag. Plus, it is also one of the main reasons why I chose this bag.

Another reason why I love this bag is its versality. The top portion of handbag can be folded over, where the long cowhide strap included can provide the additional options of shoulder or body sling.
