**Brand:** Borbonese

This 1980s Borbonese by Redwall pillow bag pairs soft, textured O.P. suede with 
warm brown leather trim and rolled double handles. Its rounded body holds a gentle
structure without losing the relaxed, pillow-like folds that give the shape its 
name. The contrast between the fine suede pattern and smooth leather gives the bag
its character before any ornament is needed.

O.P. stands for _Occhio di Pernice_, or partridge-eye, the distinctive pattern associated
with Borbonese suede bags. Here it reads as a dense, small-scale texture across 
the broad panels and curved sides. The warm brown palette makes that surface easy
to wear with denim, tailoring or softer evening fabrics.

A double zipper closes the top, with branded Redwall pulls adding a useful identifying
detail. The rolled leather handles provide a comfortable top-handle carry, and the
roomy interior has space for daily essentials. The result is a practical day-to-
evening bag with the particular texture and proportions of the original 1980s design.

## Details

 * **Approximate dimensions:** 13 in (33 cm) wide × 9.5 in (24 cm) high × 6 in (
   15 cm) deep.
 * **Style:** Pillow bag / top-handle bag, with a structured yet flexible silhouette.
 * **Closure:** Double zip with Redwall-branded pulls.

## Styling

Let the patterned suede sit against a plain wool coat or a crisp cotton shirt, or
carry it with dark denim and a fine knit. For evening, its rounded shape and warm
leather offer a quieter counterpoint to a fluid dress. The roomy proportions make
it useful through the day, while the short double handles keep the outline compact.

## Condition

**Excellent vintage condition** with minimal signs of wear; suede remains rich and
supple, hardware strong and functional.
