1781 Bucket Mini Handbag in Signature A Patterned Leather

The 1781 Bucket Mini Handbag from our Signature A collection is a refined expression of Asprey’s heritage and artisanal excellence. Crafted from soft, supple black leather, this design reimagines a classic Asprey silhouette with a contemporary flair.

Designed for both elegance and functionality, the bag features a structured top handle alongside a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap for versatile wear. A belt strap with window and claw clasp secures the silhouette, while a magnetic tab top closure offers ease of access. Pale gold-finish hardware adds a subtle, refined accent, and a discreet zip pocket on the interior back wall provides practical storage.

Central to this design is Asprey’s Signature A leather pattern, created in collaboration with a specialist Japanese atelier. Created using the revered Inden technique, a Japanese craftsmanship tradition refined over more than 400 years since its founding in 1582, this exceptional leather was originally used in the decorative elements of Japanese samurai armour. It is valued for its unique softness, lightness, flexibility, and strength. Each panel is individually tanned, dyed, and silkscreened, resulting in a handbag that seamlessly blends Japanese craftsmanship with Asprey’s British heritage.
