The iconic bag
PANGAEA
Round Bag
A handcrafted sculpture bag created from a reclaimed soccer ball and rebuilt through handwork with natural leather.
A handcrafted sculpture bag created from a reclaimed soccer ball and rebuilt through handwork with natural leather.
A distinctive form shaped through Italian design and craftsmanship.
Different every time
ONE.
Never repeated.
The process follows the same method, yet material and the maker’s hand make every bag different.
Colors, marks, and imperfections tell the story of the material and its transformation.
No two PANGAEA are alike.
Choose yours
Change the detail.
Change the character.
Every shell can be paired with closure pouches and handles in different colors.
By replacing these elements, the same PANGAEA can take on different configurations and adapt easily to different occasions and outfits.
One bag. More identities.
The shape-holding inner bladder
Even what remains hidden continues to live.
The transformation does not stop at the soccer ball’s surface.
The original inner bladder is reclaimed too: repaired, covered, and integrated into the bag, it becomes the internal element that supports its form.
During use, it can be deflated and, when needed, inflated again to help PANGAEA retain its geometry.
Every PANGAEA includes a small pump with a needle, designed to inflate and deflate the shape-holding inner bladder easily.
