On the occasion of Pitti 107, Il Bisonte and Yolanda Edwards renew their partnership with the launch of a special edition of the iconic Le Laudi tote bag, designed with travelers in mind.
Yolanda Edwards—globetrotter, tastemaker, and founder of YOLO Journal—has reimagined this emblematic accessory of the Florentine brand to cater to the needs of modern travelers who value beautifully crafted, long-lasting objects that seamlessly combine practicality with style.
A lifelong admirer of Florence, where she studied as a young woman, Yolanda has designed a new version of the Le Laudi bag specifically for women like her: those who are constantly on the move and refuse to compromise on elegance, even while traveling.
The new Le Laudi YOLO edition retains its classic design while incorporating an understated leather strap on the back, allowing it to be easily attached to a trolley for added convenience. “I’ve been in love with Il Bisonte ever since I discovered it in Florence during my college years,” Edwards shares. “So collaborating with them is an absolute dream. This bag was designed to work as hard for the traveler as it does for everyday life. And, in my favorite Il Bisonte finish—untreated leather—it develops a beautiful patina with every trip, creating a story of its own over time.”
Handcrafted entirely in Tuscany by artisans within a 30-kilometer supply chain, this tote bag draws inspiration from the timeless beauty of Florence and takes its name from one of the city’s historic theatres. Made of vintage leather, the Le Laudi YOLO edition exudes casual sophistication with a design that honors Il Bisonte’s heritage while looking toward the future.
The bag will be available starting January 15th exclusively on Il Bisonte’s online store (ilbisonte.com) and at select flagship stores, including locations in Florence, New York, and Rome.
