Everything I’ve made, one piece at a time.
Marcellino NY started with briefcases in 2010, and they come first here. The shelves around them are wider: handbags, mini cases, crossbody and saddle bags, portfolios, card holders, belts, collars, key holders. If it came off my bench, it belongs in this section.
Most of it is past work. These are designs from earlier years, many of them no longer on the shop page. A few are current designs you can still buy, and any post with a live listing carries a Buy Now button at the top.
Each post takes one piece and covers it properly: the leather and hardware, how I made it, who would carry it and when, and what to wear beside it. The photos are mine, taken of the actual piece.
Looking to order today? See the briefcases, the ready-to-ship pieces on sale, or the bespoke page for something made to your order.
