The Classic

The Gössl Edition handbag brings together elegance, high-quality workmanship and first-class fabrics. The satchel bag in smooth calf leather unites hand-worked waffle smocking derived from Tracht with fine leather to create timeless elegance of genuine value. A push-and-magnet mechanism adorns the opening, and the inner compartment can be opened with a zip. The shoulder strap supplied can be clipped on and off as you wish. The bag radiates a timeless design and unmistakable chic. It embodies tradition without falling back into old patterns - a true classic that can be combined in many ways. This bag complements every ensemble perfectly and shows it to advantage, whatever the occasion. Gössl revolutionises the tradition of smocking by allowing this textile art to flow into leather for the first time - a bold step that makes this development a groundbreaking innovation. Originally a loose overdress that embodied the essence of craftsmanly folding and precision, smocking is now carried by Gössl into the world of luxury bags. Every bag in this exclusive Edition is adorned with hand-made smocking in leather – a fusion of textile art and leather working unmatched until now. The fold, as a symbol of the third dimension in textile art, comes to life on leather at Gössl. Three-dimensionality and subtle plays of shadow lend the bags not only depth but also an unmistakable personality. The Gössl waffle smocking on leather becomes the iconic hallmark of the exclusive Edition handbags. At Gössl, craftsmanly precision and first-class fabrics come first. All metal elements, apart from the zip, are genuinely silver-plated. The calf leather, of the highest quality, gives the bags not only a flawless appearance but also exceptional softness and robustness. The leather interior reflects the devotion to quality and promises longevity. Working together with an experienced Salzburg leather craftswoman, Gössl has transferred the art of smocking onto leather. This masterly handwork demands stamina and dexterity. Each smock is worked into the leather by hand, with one row of smocking taking about an hour. This elaborate process underlines the true artistry and the commitment behind every single bag.
